The movement toward gratitude, authenticity, and union is the natural and organic inner work of the second half of our lives.

The morning glories and the sunflowers turn naturally toward the light, but we have to be taught, it seems.

Every time you choose to love, you have also just chosen to die.

The ego knows itself by comparison.

A person who can laugh and go with life does not demand to be in control, which is why the most controlling people may be sarcastic but lack an authentic sense of humor.

I think it's important to remember that by the second half of our lives, we are meant to see in wholes, and no longer just in parts.

One wonders how far spiritual and political leaders can genuinely lead us without some degree of mystical seeing and action.
