Tragedy stays alive by feeling what's been done to us, while peace comes alive by living with the results.

I started out wanting to write great poems, then wanting to discover true poems. Now, I want to be the poem.

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

When we don't get what we want, there's a legitimate grieving, and then the spiritual journey truly begins, because not getting what we want breaks our self-reference; and once that is broken, we are aware that we are a part of a larger whole. It changes everything.

It is the courage to be authentic that keeps us strong enough to withstand the heartbreak through which enlightenment can occur. And it is by honoring how life comes through us that we get the most out of living, not by keeping ourselves out of the way. The goal is to mix our hands in the earth, not to stay clean.

We think that accomplishing things will complete us, when it is experiencing life that will.

The resource of life is everywhere, even in the smallest of things and we're never very far from it.
