Healing comes when we meet our wounded places with compassion.

When the heart acknowledges how much pain there is in the mind, it turns like a mother toward a frightened child.

There is nothing to do but be.

Your distance from your partner is the distance from your heart. The things that make relationships difficult are some of the most precious aspects to us.

There is in all our strivings a profound homesickness for God. When we touch another we touch God. When we look at a flower, its radiance, its fragrance, its stillness is another moment's experience of something deeper within. When we hold a baby, when we hear extraordinary music, when we look into the eyes of a great saint, what draws us is that deep homesickness for our true nature, for the peace and healing that is our birthright. This homesickness for God directs us toward the healing we took birth for.

Go to the truth beyond the mind. Love is the bridge.

Our life is composed of events and states of mind. How ewe appraise our life from our deathbed will be predicated not only on what came to us in life but how we lived with it. It will not be simply illness or health, riches or poverty, good luck or bad, which ultimately define whether we believe we have had a good life or not, but the quality of our relationship to these situations: the attitudes of our states of mind.
