Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment.

A real love letter is made of insight, understanding, and compassion. Otherwise it's not a love letter. A true love letter can produce a transformation in the other person, and therefore in the world. But before it produces a transformation in the other person, it has to produce a transformation within us. Some letters may take the whole of our lifetime to write.

People suffer because they are caught in their views. As soon as we release those views, we are free and we don't suffer anymore.

The way must be in you; the destination also must be in you and not somewhere else in space or time. If that kind of self-transformation is being realized in you, you will arrive.

I promise myself that I will enjoy every minute of the day that is given me to live.

I am in the present. I don't think of the past. I don't think of the future.
