I wanted to be a citizen of the world but not in a superficial way.

For all my good intentions, there are days when things go wrong or I fall into old habits. When things are not going well, when I'm grumpy or mad, I'll realize that I've not been paying attention to my soul and I've not been following my best routine.

I talk about very serious human affairs but with a lightness of heart.

Life is. I am. Anything might happen. And I believe I may invest my life with meaning. The uncertainty is a blessing in disguise. If I were absolutely certain about all things, I would spend my life in anxious misery, fearful of losing my way. But since everything and anything are always possible, the miraculous is always nearby and wonders shall never, ever cease.

This is an exercise in power - the power of mind over matter. If you don't mind being inadequate, it doesn't matter.

Sticks and stones will break our bones, but words will break our hearts.

Peace is not something you wish for, it's something you make
