People around us change and circumstances change. We can often find ourselves struggling against those things.

The heart, like the grape, is prone to delivering its harvest in the same moment it appears to be crushed.

The body is the doorway to the timeless, because the body is always where we are and always in the present moment.

Be willing to be where you actually are. In my experience, that is the most inherently meaningful experience you can have.

If you allow yourself to fully feel the life you're in - not conceptually, but viscerally in the present moment - then that is inherently meaningful.

Love, like everything else, exists in a spectrum. Love of another, love of the world, love of God, all these loves are really one love in different degrees of light and density.

When the heart opens, we forget ourselves and the world pours in: this world, and also the invisible world of meaning that sustains everything that was and ever shall be.

Trust can never be earned, but can only be given. But once you have it, you can damn sure lose it.

It's an unfortunate fact that I'm easily discouraged. But the fortunate truth is I'm stubborn as hell and near impossible to sway in my resolve.

To insult someone we call him 'besti*l. For deliberate cruelty and nature, 'human' might be the greater insult.

I have earned the money and changed the nappies!

Has feminism increased the pool of happy women?

The theist is persuaded that while nothing that contradicts science is likely to be true, still nothing that stops with science can be the whole truth.
