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.

It is trust in our vast 'don't know' that allows room for the truth, that allows the next intuition to float to the surface.

If you want the other person more than anything else in the world, you're in major trouble and the relationship is a wobbly pivot. It's different if the thing you want most in the world is truth, and your partner is the person you want most in the world.

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.

Love is not what we become but who we already are

Letting ourselves be forgiven is one of the most difficult healings we will undertake. And one of the most fruitful. (79)

Always try to see yourself through God's eyes.
