When we keep choosing between right and wrong. We spend our energy sorting life rather than living it.

Our job is not to expose the mystery but to participate in it.

To be broken is no reason to see all things as broken.

In the same way that we have to clean wax from our ears and dirt from our eyes, we're all asked to clean out our conclusions and judgments, which block our heart from meeting the world.

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.

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

What we reach for may be different, but what makes us reach is the same.
