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

There is nothing to do but be.

Acting from the appropriateness of the heart, we are freed from the neediness of the mind.

Until we find out who was born this time around, it seems irrelevant to seek earlier identities. I have heard many people speak of who they believe they were in previous incarnations, but they seem to have very little idea of who they are in this one. . . . Let’s take one life at a time. Perhaps the best way to do that is to live as though there were no afterlife or reincarnation. To live as though this moment was all that was allotted. (132)

Whatever prepares you for death enhances life.

Letting go of our suffering is the hardest work we will ever do. It is also the most fruitful. To heal means to meet ourselves in a new way -- in the newness of each moment where all is possible and nothing is limited to the old.

Relate to the fear, not just from it. (50)
