To take care of the environment, we must first take care of the environmentalist.

The heart of the matter is always our oneness with divine spirit, our union with all life.

There are many ways to calm a negative energy without suppressing or fighting it. You recognize it, you smile to it, and you invite something nicer to come up and replace it; you read some inspiring words, you listen to a piece of beautiful music, you go somewhere in nature, or you do some walking meditation.

You are me, and I am you. Isn't it obvious that we "inter-are"? You cultivate the flower in yourself, so that I will be beautiful. I transform the garbage in myself, so that you will not have to suffer.

Nothing is more precious than being in the present moment. Fully alive, fully aware.

We try to live every moment like that, dwelling peacefully in the present moment, and respond to events with compassion.

The wave does not need to die to become water. She is already water.
