If we devote ourselves to the life at hand, the rest will follow. For life, it seems, reveals itself through those willing to live. Anything else, no matter how beautiful, is just advertising.

I was a very driven person, wanting to help and to do good, hopefully to write and teach in a meaningful way - wanting to make change. And I discovered humbly that life was changing me.

To listen also means to stay in relationship, the central challenge of our time, and this requires us to constantly minimize whatever stands between us and life.

Live loud enough in your heart and there is no need to speak.

Intuitive listening requires us to still our minds until the beauty of things older than our minds can find us.

Even if one glimpses God, there are cuts and splinters and burns along the way.

We need experience to release what matters.
