I think we have to recover our spiritual nature. The way we have interpreted Christianity does not do that.

I do assert that one prepares for eternity not by being religious and keeping the rules, but by living fully, loving wastefully, and daring to be all that each of us has the capacity to be.

Before you wonder "Am I doing things right?" wonder "Am I doing the right things?"

Events in the past may be roughly divided into those which probably never happened and those which do not matter.

Let's say your past is your present and your present is your cash, So I look forward to the future.
