To be spiritual means to be solid, calm, and peaceful and to be able to look deeply inside and around us.

The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it. (21)

The more compassionate you are, the more generous you can be. The more generous you are, the move loving friendliness you cultivate to help the world.

Each second of life is a miracle

What we most need to do is to hear within us the sound of the Earth crying.

If you are truly present and know how to take care of the present moment as best you can, you are doing your best for the future already.
