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

Like roots finding water, we always wind up moving towards what sustains us.

The real challenge is to remember to see clearly when everything's flying around us and we're wrapped up in our [emotional] wounds and traumas.

The greatest thing we can do to be closer to our own lives and to the freshness of living is to open up again.

Keeping a commitment to listening has led me to my own growth, beyond any imagined dreams I may have had throughout the years.

We are born with only one obligation - to be completely who we are.

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.
