When we are forced to stop the noise around us and in us, we begin to hear everything that is not us, and this is the beginning of humility and the renewal of our soul's energy; as only by listening to all that is larger than us can we discover and feel our place in the Universe.

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

Intuitive listening requires us to still our minds until the beauty of things older than our minds can find us.

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.

Birds learn how to fly, never knowing where flight will take them.

Have the #‎ life you want by being fully present to the life you have.

If you truly hold a stone, you can feel the mountain it came from.
