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

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.

Forgiveness is mental floss! Build the capacity to forgive slowly - start with little unkind acts, otherwise you'll sabotage yourself. When we forgive, we forgive the actor, not the action.

Non-attachment is not the elimination of desire. It is the spaciousness to allow any quality of mind, any thought or feeling, to arise without closing around it, without eliminating the pure witness of being. It is an active receptivity to life.

We've all been should upon enough.

The saddest part about being human is not paying attention. Presence is the gift of life.

Whatever prepares you for death enhances life.
