Voting is the expression of our commitment to ourselves, one another, this country and this world.

I will love myself as long as I never make a mistake.

The critical element in meditation practice is beginning again. Everyone loses focus at times, everyone loses interest at times, and everyone gets distracted over and over again. What is essential, and also incredibly transforming, is realizing that we have the ability to begin again, without blaming or judging ourselves, without thinking we have failed, without losing heart, we can, and need to, constantly be beginning again.

There are many different ways to practice meditation; it's good to experiment until you find one that seems to suit you.

For all of us, love can be the natural state of our own being; naturally at peace, naturally connected, because this becomes the reflection of who we simply are.

Love as a power can go anywhere. It isn't sentimental. It doesn't have to be pretty, yet it doesn't deny pain.

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