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

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

There is no getting around the fundamental fact that we need to interact with everything in order to manifest the wholeness we are born with.

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.

What is not ex-pressed is de-pressed.

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.

No bird can fly without opening its wings, and no one can love without exposing their hearts.
