“Wisdom says we are nothing. Love says we are everything. Between these two our life flows.”

When we let go of our battles and open our hearts to things as they are, then we come to rest in the present moment. This is the beginning and the end of spiritual practice.

If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

No matter how difficult the past, you can always begin again today.

A second quality of mature spirituality is kindness. It is based on a fundamental notion of self-acceptance.

You hold in your hand an invitation: to remember the transforming power of forgiveness and loving kindness. To remember that no matter where you are and what you face, within your heart peace is possible.

There are no holy places and no holy people, only holy moments, only moments of wisdom.

In deep self acceptance, grows a compassionate understanding.

In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived How well we have loved How well we have learned to let go.

Wherever you are is the perfect place to awaken. This moment is the exact place to practice compassion and loving awareness. You have all the ingredients to breathe and find freedom just where you are.

The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?

Life without forgiveness is unbearable.

We must look at ourselves over and over again in order to learn to love, to discover what has kept our hearts closed, and what it means to allow our hearts to open.

When we get too caught up in the busyness of the world, we lose connection with one another – and ourselves.

The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another.

Indifference is a misguided way of defending ourselves.

Spiritual life doesn’t make you a good person; you ARE a good person, you are a holy being when you are born. What spiritual life does is remind us that this is who we really are.

I have to say that I’ve always believed perfectionism is more of a disease than a quality. I do try to go with the flow but I can’t let go.

Everything flows and nothing stays.

Life is a river always flowing, do not hold onto things, work hard.

Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without relation to anything external.

Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.

We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers.

I am rooted, but I flow.

The rivers flow not past, but through us, thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing.
