In the silence of listening, you can know yourself in everyone, the unseen singing softly to itself and to you.

Many people do not know that they can strengthen or diminish the life around them. The way we live day to day simply may not reflect back to us our power to influence life or the web of relationships that connects us. Life responds to us anyway. We all have the power to affect others. We may affect those we know and those we do not even know at all. . . . Without our knowing, we may influence the lives of others in very simple ways.

If we fear loss enough, in the end the things we possess will come to possess us.

It has been my experience that presence is a more powerful catalyst for change than analysis.

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.

A shaman is someone who has a wound that will not heal. He sits by the side of the road with his open wound exposed.

When we are seen by the heart we are seen for who we are. We are valued in our uniqueness by those who are able to see us in this way and we become able to know and value ourselves.
