Wisdom and knowledge are two different things.

Love, like everything else, exists in a spectrum. Love of another, love of the world, love of God, all these loves are really one love in different degrees of light and density.

When we're fully engaged in the present moment, no matter what we're doing, the question of meaning never seems to arise. It's because we feel fulfilled and that is inherently meaningful.

Time and the timeless dimension co-exist here, now in this very moment that we're living, this very moment that we're speaking.

People around us change and circumstances change. We can often find ourselves struggling against those things.

I woke up early one morning a couple of years ago and felt the tenderness of my being alone, the bitter sweetness of it. It has many colors, being alone. I walked out into my living room and I can say honestly that everything was pouring with life - the red sofa, the chairs with their patterns of roses, even the coffee table with its scattering of books. Everything was alive with the presence of being. Seeing the world though those eyes, I realized that I could never really be alone.

Be willing to be where you actually are. In my experience, that is the most inherently meaningful experience you can have.
