This is the part of us that makes our brief, improbable little lives worth living: the ability to reach through our own isolation and find strength, and comfort, and warmth for and in each other. This is what human beings do. This is what we live for, the way horses live to run.

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.

You will know how to stop suffering as soon as suffering ceases to be valuable. If you are in pain, you are being led.

If you're living completely on your own, break out of solitary confinement. Seek to understand others, and help them understand you

Stop fixating on stuff you can touch and start caring about stuff that touches you.

You shine for who you are ... because no one can steal your light.

The repercussions of one person living in stubborn gladness are incalculable.
