While drinking, while talking, while writing, while watering our garden, it's always possible to practice living in the here and the now.

You have two gardens: your own garden and that of your beloved. First, you have to take care of your own garden and master the art of gardening. In each one of us there are flowers and there is also garbage. The garbage is the anger, fear, discrimination, and jealousy within us. If you water the garbage, you will strengthen the negative seeds. If you water the flowers of compassion, understanding, and love, you will strengthen the positive seeds. What you grow is up to you.

No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.

Our appointment with life is in the present moment. If we do not have peace and joy right now, when will we have peace and joy?

In order to rally people, governments need enemies... if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.

The true miracle is not walking on water or walking in air, but simply walking on this earth.

It is my conviction that there is no way to peace - peace is the way.
