Sooner or later we will come to the edge of all that we can control and find life, waiting there for us.

At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source. When you are an artist, you are a healer; a wordless trust of the same mystery is the foundation of your work and its integrity.

The way towards freedom from a situation often lies in acceptance of the situation.

God's presence. . . is an inner experience that never changes. It's a relationship that's there all the time, even when we're not paying attention to it. Perhaps the Infinite holds us to Itself in the same way the earth does. Like gravity, if it ever stopped we would know it instantly. But it never does.

When we pray, we don't change the world, we change ourselves.

My sense is that you can never teach anybody anything, or change anybody in ways that they don't already have in mind.

A blessing is not something that one person gives another. A blessing is a moment of meeting, a certain kind of relationship in which both people involved remember and acknowledge their true nature and worth, and strengthen what is whole in one another.
