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

One of the most challenging ways is to slow down enough to relax our heart and feel what is nearest. It could be the sun reflecting off of broken glass in an alley. It could be the shine on a crow. It could be snow on a lamp post.

The extraordinary is waiting quietly beneath the skin of all that is ordinary.

Each of us is born with an incorruptible spot of grace.

I have found that life is alive and we are requested to have a friendship with it, to have a conversation with life and that conversation is restorative and healing and always nearby.

Meditation, in all its forms and traditions, is an invitation to listen, to open, to quietly enlist the courage to be touched and formed by life.

I would rather be fooled than not believe.
