“You are a person worthy of love. You don’t have to do anything to prove that.”

We’re capable of much more than mediocrity, much more than merely getting by in this world.

We use mindfulness to observe the way we cling to pleasant experiences & push away unpleasant ones.

The key to cultivating confidence in ourselves is understanding our right to make the truth our own.

Training attention through meditation opens our eyes.

Seeking is endless. It never comes to a state of rest; it never ceases.

Our ability to connect with others is innate, wired into our nervous systems, and we need connection as much as we need physical nourishment.

We are all too often told by someone that we are too old, too young, too different, too much the same, and those comments can be devastating.

Kindness is really at the core of what it means to be and feel alive.

The art of concentration is a continual letting go. We let go of what is inessential or distracting. We let go of a thought or a feeling, not because we are afraid of it or because we can’t bear to acknowledge it as a part of our experience; but, because it is UNNECESSARY.

For all of us, love can be the natural state of our own being; naturally at peace, naturally connected, because this becomes the reflection of who we simply are.

We long for permanence but everything in the known universe is transient. That’s a fact but one we fight.

You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine.

As we practice meditation, we get used to stillness and eventually are able to make.

The starting place for radical re-imagining of love is mindfulness.

We can free ourselves from the old stories that have reduced us & allow real love for ourselves to blossom.

All beings want to be happy, yet so very few know how. It is out of ignorance that any of us cause suffering, for ourselves or for others.

Enough of this. The next one I love will return my passion.

I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days – three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.

Work hard, but make time for your love, family and friends. Nobody remembers PowerPoint presentations on your final day.

I love my life!

Your sorrowful beauty can soften a stone, and dampen the eyes of a god.

All I wanted was to break your walls, all you wanted was to break me

I was genuinely happy when I wrote that song [Training Wheels] and very in love. That’s a very rare emotion to evoke out of me.

Find your home. You’ll know it instantly; it will be the place you never wish to flee from.
