Caring is a reflex. Someone slips, your arm goes out. A car is in the ditch, you join others and push... You live, you help.

The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can't be organized or regulated. It isn't true that everyone should follow one path. Listen to your own truth.

I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion--and where it isn't, that's where my work lies.

If you think you’re enlightened go spend a week with your family.

The game is not about becoming somebody, it's about becoming nobody.

We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another.

The intellect is a beautiful servant but a terrible master. Intellect is the power tool of our separateness. The intuitive, compassionate heart is the doorway to our unity.

I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are

If you want to cure the world, don't emanate fear - emanate love.

Oh that voice, so sweet. Rich, like the taste of vanilla ice cream, vowels like flute music, warm caramel consonants. She could float in that voice forever and not miss a thing.

Again and again I will suffer; again and again I will get back on my feet. I will not be defeated.

This is a world of action, and not moping and droning in.

I like to sing love songs.

Kissing Mother Superior, incompetent, hairball, poppy seeds, on the can.

The loneliness is the mother of wisdom.

In order, in order to enforce you can't force people to act right toward each other. You can't force, you cannot legislate heart, conditions and attitudes.

You can live in your total potential creative capacity in an instant-with your heart open to give and receive love.

It's better being completely ridiculous than unbelievably boring.
