You look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is.

Most of us are convinced that we are our egos, which is who we think we are. The ego is part of our incarnation. It dies with the body, which is why we are so afraid of death. Death scares the hell out of who you think you are, especially if you think you are this body.

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.

Compassion is the ability to see how it all is.

What we're seeing "out there" is the projection of where we're at--the projection of the clingings of our minds.

I love everybody. Even George Bush.

In our relationships, how much can we allow them to become new, and how much do we cling to what they used to be yesterday?
