Suffering begins to dissolve when we can question the belief or the hope that there's anywhere to hide.

Life is glorious, but life is also wretched. It is both...Life is glorious, but life is also wretched. It is both.

Rejoicing in ordinary things is not sentimental or trite. It actually takes guts. Each time we drop our complaints and allow everyday good fortune to inspire us, we enter the warrior's world.

The most important aspect of being on a spiritual path may be to just keep moving.

While we are sitting in meditation, we are simply exploring humanity and all of creation in the form of ourselves.

By becoming intimate with how we close down and how we open up, we awaken our unlimited potential.

It isn't what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it's what we say to ourselves about what happens.
