Whatever opens us is not as important as what it opens.

A love astounds us or a pain consumes us and we forget that we glow on our own.

Part of the blessing and challenge of being human is that we must discover our own true nature.

When wiggling through a hole the world looks different than when scrubbed clean by the wiggle and looking back.

Rather than finding heaven on earth, we are asked to release heaven by living on earth.

Let's be in awe which doesn't mean anything but the courage to gape like fish at the surface breaking around our mouths as we meet the air.

In the way that I experience life, the physical world is really just the tip of the iceberg of reality. Whether it's trees or stones or water or animals or stars, everything has an ineffable interior quality.
