Choose to be in touch with what is wonderful, refreshing, and healing within yourself and around you.

A flower is not a flower. It is made only of non-flower elements - sunshine, clouds, time, space, earth, minerals, gardeners, and so on. A true flower contains the whole universe. If we return any one of these non-flower elements to its source, there will be no flower.

The quality of our life depends on the quality of the seeds that lie deep in our consciousness.

The present moment contains past and future. The secret of transformation, is in the way we handle this very moment.

Our nature is the nature of no birth and no death. It is impossible for a cloud to pass from being into nonbeing. And that is true with a beloved person. They have not died. They have continued in many new forms and you can look deeply and recognize them in you and around you.

Loving ourselves means loving our community. When we are capable of loving ourselves, nourishing ourselves properly, not intoxicating ourselves, we are already protecting and nourishing society.

In order to heal others, we first need to heal ourselves. And to heal ourselves, we need to know how to deal with ourselves.
