It is beautiful to be alone, it is also beautiful to to be in love, to be with people. And they are complementary, not contradictory.

Yes, it is better to look from the window than not to look at all, but to look through the window cannot be compared to the windowless sky.

When one is total, life flowers - and that flowering is spirituality. Spirituality is not an attitude, it is not a discipline. It is an outcome of a life lived totally, joyfully, delightfully; of a life of no complaint; of a life lived courageously, intensely. Then this flowering happens.
