The richness of a moment comes when it's both full and empty at the same time. The truth is, we live simultaneously in time and timelessness.

When our hearts open, when we know that we are in fact the world, when we experience the pain of others in our own blood and muscle, we are feeling compassion.

We're all just walking each other home.

I like walking in the pool. That isn't what makes me feel spiritual. But alive.

You may have expected that enlightenment would come ZAP! instantaneous and permanent.This is unlikely.After the first ah ha expereince, it can be thougth of as a thinning of a layer of clouds.

I think the game is to bear the unbearable with a giggle. With your heart breaking. And then do what you do.

The dark night of the soul is when you have lost the flavor of life but have not yet gained the fullness of divinity. So it is that we must weather that dark time, the period of transformation when what is familiar has been taken away and the new richness is not yet ours.
