With every breath, the possibility of a new aspect of self arises.

Because we do not rest, we lose our way.

In the soil of the quick fix is the seed of a new problem, because our quiet wisdom is unavailable.

Even in the middle of a hurricane, the bottom of the sea is calm. As the storm rages and the winds howl, the deep waters sway in gentle rhythm, a light movement of fish and plant life. Below there is no storm.

A kind life...is fundamentally a life of courage.

For thousands of years we have gathered in circle--around fires, around bodies, around altars--because we can't do this alone.

Effortlessness is the ability to slow down and listen for the spaces between the joints... Deep within all things there is a natural rhythm, a music of opening and closing, expansion and contraction.
