The point of experience is not to escape life but to live it.

Try as we do to resist what we're given, this is the only doorway to truth. We waste too much time and energy denying or fighting where we find ourselves.

Sometimes the simplest and best use of our will is to drop it all and just walk out from under everything that is covering us, even if only for an hour or so—just walk out from under the webs we've spun, the tasks we've assumed, the problems we have to solve. They'll be there when we get back, and maybe some of them will fall apart without our worry to hold them up.

We are love. But in an everyday setting we have to make choices. We have limits. We can love everyone and we can't love everyone.

The sun doesn't stop shining because some people are blind.

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

Our job is not to expose the mystery but to participate in it.
