To be loved means to be recognized as existing.

You have an appointment with life, an appointment that is in the here and now.

The most important thing that we can do for the healing of our world is to hear inside ourselves, the sounds of the earth crying.

People sacrifice the present for the future. But life is available only in the present. That is why we should walk in such a way that every step can bring us to the here and the now.

As you walk, you touch the ground mindfully, and every step can bring you solidity and joy and freedom. Freedom from your regret concerning the past, and freedom from your fear about the future.

If you are motivated by loving kindness and compassion, there are many ways to bring happiness to others right now, starting with kind speech.

Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice... No one can prevent you from being aware of each step you take or each breath in and breath out.
