Illnesses are often times a reflection of an emotional place that needs healing or attention.

Look at native cultures - they've lasted for tens of thousands of years, not doing everything right. We wouldn't want to emulate them in many ways, but their basic philosophies - being a part of nature, a part of a tribe or group without elevating, not what you call dominator philosophies - they lasted for tens of thousands of years. It took us to come and put them asunder.

We started by asking what’s wrong with the world, and we ended up discovering what’s right with it.

I wasn't paying enough attention to what my heart was telling me. When I paid attention and got the message, I could move forward and heal.

I was raised Catholic and didn't like the dogma and exclusivity of that teaching but I was moved by the moral teachings and by the power of the Jesus fellow.

The mystics will tell you death is perfectly safe. A violent act will beget a violent act; it is simply a law.

What matters is who we are, not who we beat.
