Let's hold hands and brave this beautiful, crazy life together with a sweet smile and a calm breath.

Vulnerability is a wonderful tool for awakening and for learning and for growing and for connecting.

Allow beauty and sadness to touch you. This is love, not fear.

The system is broken. The doctors and the nurses can't do everything. The patients need human attention; the patients themselves need to be addressed, rather than just their disease.

I feel vulnerable every single time I step into a classroom. I feel completely exposed.

Teaching yoga is the only thing I can do. I can't imagine not doing it. I love it because I believe in it.

I do what I do because there's nothing else I can do.

Seeing what was needed in the hospital firsthand - someone needs to come in and just be with patients, without trying to take their blood or change the bedpan, and to give them human-to-human touch.

I love lyrics. They help me to figure things out.

I can honestly say, I have the love of my life, and we have the most amazing children.

Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to be encouraged in others. Health is the primary duty of life.

The more you say, the less they remember.

Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.

Art is man determined to die sane.

Great way to fight a war - be prepared to defend yourself for winning.

Every day holds the possibility of a miracle.

The stars are distant and unobtrusive, but bright and enduring as our fairest and most memorable experiences.

Long ago I left heroics to the heroes

It's innate in me to be a Democrat - a true Southern populist kind of Democrat. There's not a lot of those anymore. I'm not saying I'm right or wrong. That's just the way I feel.

When you're feeling full of doubt and fear has got you in a bind, love will save the day.
