Right down there in the thick of things, we discover the love that will not die.

If your mind is expansive and unfettered, you will find yourself in a more accommodating world, a place that's endlessly interesting and alive. That quality isn't inherent in the place but in your state of mind.

Remember that this is not something we do just once or twice. Interrupting our destructive habits and awakening our heart is the work of a lifetime.

The idea of karma is that you continually get the teaching that you need to open your heart.

Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing.

We can begin to open our hearts to others when we have no hope of getting anything back. We just do it for its own sake.

Whatever happens in your life, joyful or painful, do not be swept away by reactivity. Be patient with yourself and don't lose your sense of perspective.
