Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher.

The past isn't fixed and frozen in place. Instead, its meaning changes as life unfolds.

For me, teaching is about weaving a web of connectedness between myself, my students, the subject I'm teaching, and the larger world.

Before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, listen for what it intends to do with you.

Disabused of our illusions by much travel and travail, we awaken one day to find that the sacred center is here and now - in every moment of the journey, everywhere in the world around us, and deep within our own hearts.

At its deepest level, I think teaching is about bringing people into communion with each other, with yourself as the teacher, and with the subject you are teaching.

The spiritual life is about becoming more at home in your own skin.
