The kind of spirituality I value is one in which you get great joy out of contributing to life, not just sitting and meditating, although meditation is certainly valuable. But from meditation, from the resulting consciousness, I would like to see people in action creating the world they want to live in.

We need to receive empathy to give empathy.

A respectful understanding of another's experience.

In these long-standing conflicts, I find that most cases it gets resolved in about twenty minutes after each side can tell me the needs of the other.

We use NVC to evaluate ourselves in ways that engender growth rather than self-hatred.

How I choose to look at any situation will greatly affect whether I have the power to change it or make matters worse.

I believe that the most joyful and intrinsic motivation human beings have for taking any action is the desire to meet our needs and the needs of others.
