The last place we tend to look for healing is within ourselves.

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

Every day, we are given countless opportunities to offer our gifts to those at work, in our families, our relationships.... If you give less than what you are, you dishonor the gift of your own precious life.

A gift is like a seed; it is not an impressive thing. It is what can grow from the seed that is impressive. If we wait until our seed becomes a tree before we offer it, we will wait and wait, and the seed will die from lack of planting.... The miracle is not just the gift; the miracle is in the offering, for if we do not offer, who will?

Just because we are working hard does not mean we are making anything happen.

Like a path through the forest, Sabbath creates a marker for ourselves so, if we are lost, we can find our way back to our center.

When we come close to those things that break us down, we touch those things that also break us open. And in that breaking open, we uncover our true nature.
