The resource of life is everywhere, even in the smallest of things and we're never very far from it.

Let the miracles, even the ones we don't want or see, unfold.

I don't personally believe in an arrived state of enlightenment. I feel that being human is a constant practice of return. We have moments of clarity, and then we're confused. We have incredibly sensitive periods of being awake, and then we're numb. Being human is a very universal and a very personal practice of learning how to return when we can't get access to what we know.

Repetition is not failure. Ask the waves, ask the leaves, ask the wind.

Water reflects everything it encounters. This is so commonplace that we think water is blue, when in fact it has no color.... But the water, the glorious water everywhere, has taught me that we are more than what we reflect or love. This is the work of compassion: to embrace everything clearly without imposing who we are and without losing who we are.

Live loud enough in your heart and there is no need to speak.

The greatest thing we can do to be closer to our own lives and to the freshness of living is to open up again.
