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.

Many of us incorrectly assume that a spiritual life begins when we change what we normally do in our daily life. We feel we must change our job, our living situation, our relationship, our address, our diet, or our clothes before we can truly begin a spiritual practice. And yet it is not the act but the awareness, the vitality, and the kindness we bring to our work that allows it to become sacred.

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.

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

Because we do not rest we lose our way...Poisoned by the hypnotic belief that good things come only through unceasing determination and tireless effort, we never truly rest. And for want of rest, our lives are in danger.

To pray is no small thing. It is nothing less than a sacred pilgrimage into the heart of the whole world.

The more spacious and larger our fundamental nature, the more bearable the pains in living.
