We need faith, not because there are beings who will punish us or reward us, but because gods are a wonderful way of describing things that are happening to us.

Even on the road to hell, flowers can make you smile.

By being receptive, we can avail ourselves of the spiritual wealth available to us. By being open, we can receive things beyond what we ourselves might imagine.

An ancient gnarled tree: Too fibrous for a logger's saw, Too twisted to fit a carpenter's square, Outlasts the whole forest.

Do you want to know how spirituality works? Breathe.

A moving door hinge never corrodes. Flowing water never grows stagnant.

Expression is never helped by suppression.
