“Only when we start to distinguish reality from fantasy that we can humbly, with eyes wide open, forge loving and sustainable connections with others.”

Let the breath lead the way.

Even as we recognize our resentment, bitterness, or jealousy, we can also honor our own wish to be happy, to feel free.

Its never too late to take a moment to look.

We often get caught up in our own reactions and forget the vulnerability of the person in front of us.

When you recognize and reflect on even one good thing about yourself, you are building a bridge to a place of kindness and caring.

The movement of the heart as we practice generosity in the outer world mirrors the movement of the heart when we let go of conditioned views about ourselves on our inner journey. Letting go creates a joyful sense of space in our minds

Sometimes kindness is stepping aside, letting go of our need to be right & just being happy for someone.

Meditation is essentially training our attention so that we can be more aware— not only of our own inner workings but also of what’s happening around us in the here & now.

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.

Reading and writing and the preservation of language and its forms and the kind of eloquence and the kind of beauty which the language is capable of is terribly important to the human beings because this is connected to thought.

I can connect Nothing with nothing

Happy will it be if our choice should be directed by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good.

I miss that feeling of connection. Knowing he was out there somewhere thinking about me at the same time I was thinking about him.

I just make music however I feel and pray that it connects, and if it does, I’m super thankful. I think genres are more for other people, not for yourself.

It is easier to remove tyrants and destroy concentration camps than to kill the ideas that gave them birth.

Happy will it be if our choice should be directed by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good. But this is a thing more ardently to be wished than seriously to be expected.

I make music for people to relate to and to connect with me. I want to tap into different emotions.
