We do good because it frees the heart. It opens us to a wellspring of happiness.

Once someone appears to us primarily as an object, kindness has no place to root.

All beings want to be happy, yet so very few know how. It is out of ignorance that any of us cause suffering, for ourselves or for others

Faith is not a commodity that you either have or don't have enough of, or the right kind of. It's an ongoing process. The opposite of faith is despair.

As we work to reweave the strands of connection, we can be supported by the wisdom and lovingkindness of others.

We often get caught up in our own reactions and forget the vulnerability of the person in front of us.

My experience working with lots of creative people is that they don't lose their artistic edge when they lose a fierce level of anguish. They just create from a different place.
