We work so hard to get somewhere, to realize a dream, to arrive at some destination, that we often forget that though some satisfaction may be waiting at the end of our endurance and effort, there is great and irreplaceable aliveness in the steps along the way.

What we reach for may be different, but what makes us reach is the same.

If I dare to hear you I will feel you like the sun And grow in your direction.

Walk long enough and we all trade places.

The life of expression is the tuning fork by which we find our way to the sacred.

The practice of listening is one of the most mysterious, luminous, and challenging art forms on Earth.

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.
