The broken door lets in the light. The broken heart lets in the world.

At the heart of each spiritual tradition is the question of how to be in the world without losing what matters, and whether living an awakened life is of any use if we don't bring what matters to bear on the world.

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

I would rather be fooled than not believe.

I looked a hundred times and all I saw was dust. The sun broke through and flecks of gold filled the air.

The key to knowing joy is being easily pleased.

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