Who in all his works sees God, in truth he goes to God.

The heart surrenders everything to the moment. The mind judges and holds back.

By acting compassionately, by helping to restore justice and to encourage peace, we are acknowledging that we are all part of one another.

I see my life as an unfolding set of opportunities to awaken.

I’m not interested in being a lover. I’m interested in only being love.

We’re being trained through our incarnations–trained to seek love, trained to seek light, trained to see the grace in suffering.

When the heart is open, it’s easier for the mind to be turned toward God.

Relationships only work in a spiritual sense when you and I really see that we are one.
