Do whatever it takes to convey your essential self.

In the pursuit of Knowledge, every day something is added. In the practice of the Way, every day something is dropped. Less and less do you need to force things, until finally you arrive at non-action. When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.

Anything you're trying to will is focused on the future; it's always associated with some sort of anxiety that makes the present moment somewhat uncomfortable.

Seek art from every time and place, in any form, to connect with those who really move you.

Anyone who comes into your life, under any circumstances, has something to teach you.

When you're weary, find relief. When you're strong, find delight.

My deep belief is that all of us have the same lifelong work: to learn honesty, courage, and love. To learn, in other words, how to be our best selves.
