In daily terms, the work of listening is to be constantly worn free of our preconceptions and preferences so that nothing stands in the way of our direct experience of life.

To love by admitting our connection to everything is how we stay well.

A successful creative expression is one in which the person who has expressed it was transformed for having encountered it

To walk quietly until the miracle in everything speaks is poetry, whether we write it down or not.

We need to give up what no longer works and find new ways of being that keeps us close to what matters.

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

I would want to affirm how rare and magnificent and messy it is to be alive, how there is really nothing between us and life, though so many things get in the way, and how our heart is the strongest muscle and resource we have.
