As you look back on a year almost ended, recall the ways in which God has been inviting you to return, again and again, to Love which is the same as returning to God

There is a part of you that is Love itself, and that is what we must fall into. It is already there. Once you move your identity to that level of deep inner contentment, you will realize you are drawing upon a Life that is much larger than your own and from a deeper abundance.

The Gospel is not a fire insurance policy for the next world, but a life assurance policy for this world.

The great and merciful surprise is that we come to God, not by doing it right, but by doing it wrong.

There has to be a womp on the side of the head that defeats and undercuts this game of performance. It has to fall apart. Now unfortunately, that very often does not happen until what I call the second half of life, when there's been enough death in the family and you start experiencing your own physical deterioration.

Love is luring us forward...to the fullness of our own being

I decided years ago that if I'm going to keep teaching contemplation, then the last years of my life should be contemplative.
