Doing small things with love is the atom of bravery.

Perhaps the noblest private act is the unheralded effort to ... open our hearts once they've closed, to open our souls once they've shied away.

To distance ourselves from our experience makes our feelings a liability, while staying in conversation with our experience makes our feelings a resource.

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

Part of the blessing and challenge of being human is that we must discover our own true nature.

In life as in water, when we curl up or flail we sink. When we spread and go still, we are carried by the largest sea of all: the sea of grace that flows steadily beneath the turmoil of events. And just as fish can't see the ocean they live in, we can't quite see the spirit that sustains us.

The life of expression is the tuning fork by which we find our way to the sacred.
