I didn't know the language of my own wisdom. I wanted to be loved and after all the various relationships I went through, I finally realized I am love. I carry love.

Anything or anyone that asks you to be other than yourself is not holy, but is trying only to fill its own need.

No amount of thinking can stop thinking.

Whether you find it through mediation or sighing over tea or just turning all your devices off for five minutes, listening is an ancient lifeline by which we are awakened time and again. Once reawakened, we more easily find our way to each other, and so help each other live.

In a world that lives like a fist mercy is not more than waking with your hands open.

We are all continually asked to learn how to ask for what we need, only to practice accepting what we're given.

I started out wanting to write great poems, then wanting to discover true poems. Now, I want to be the poem.
