The mind creates the abyss. The heart crosses over it. Love is the bridge.

The demons aren't the noise. They are our aversion to the noise...when you can accept discomfort, doing so allows a balance of mind. That surrender, that letting go of wanting anything to be other than it is right in the moment, is what frees us from hell.

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.

There is nothing to do but be.

It doesn't matter how long you forget, only how soon you remember!

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. There is nothing to do but be.

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