Belief traps or frees us.

When we know ourselves to be connected to all others, acting compassionately is simply the natural thing to do.

Religion is a bridge to the spiritual, but the spiritual lies beyond religion.

Helping, fixing, and serving represent three different ways of seeing life. When you help, you see life as weak. when you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole. Fixing and helping may be the work of the ego, and service the work of the soul.

Goose bumps happen when your soul is close to you, breathing lightly on the back of your neck, and wakes you up.

Our limitations serve, our wounds serve, even our darkness can serve.

In order to live fully we may need to look deeply at our own suffering and at the suffering of others. In the depths of every wound we have survived is the strength we need to live. The wisdom our wounds can offer us is a place of refuge. Finding this is not for the faint of heart. But then, neither is life.
