When we surrender when we do not fight with life when it calls upon us we are lifted and the strength to do what needs to be done finds us.

There is nowhere to go. What you are looking for is right here. Open the fist clenched in wanting and see what you already hold in your hand

Sometimes I think there are only two instructions we need to follow to develop and deepen our spiritual life: slow down and let go.

The courage to go deeper is found by letting your desire grow larger than your fear.

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living, I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence.

Tell me, can you see beauty? Can you let it renew your commitment to life, every day? I don't want to wait for death to be near to receive the beauty in my life. I want to be awed every day by the truth-pretty or painful-and let it open me to the beauty that surrounds me and draws me deeper and deeper into my own life.
