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

The heart of most spiritual practices is simply this: Remember who you are. Remember what you love. Remember what is sacred. Remember what is true. Remember that you will die and that this day is a gift. Remember how you wish to live.

Sabbath requires surrender. If we only stop when we are finished with all our work, we will never stop, because our work is never completely done. With every accomplishment there arises a new responsibility... Sabbath dissolves the artificial urgency of our days, because it liberates us from the need to be finished.

We become what we love. Whatever you are giving your time and attention to, day after day, is the kind of person you will eventually become.

What we choose to love is very important for what we love leads our eyes, ears, and hearts on a pilgrimage that shapes the texture of our lives.

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