Seeing and admitting the truth about ourselves, about our role in creating our own problems, and about how we relate to others is vital for healing.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind

Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.

When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.

Grant me the grace to dissolve my negative thoughts about myself today. I breathe the grace of kindness into my heart. And may the grace of healing flow abundantly to every one in need of help.

Never blame another person for your personal choices - you are still the one who must live out the consequences of your choices.

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.

There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences.

Being of service is not an option, it is a biological necessity. Every kind of action we do for someone is a reanimation of our own life force - and of the other person's.

Man does not live by bread alone.

I would like to explode, flow, crumble into dust, and my disintegration would be my masterpiece.

I'm not a playwright. The people in my songs are all me.

In the creative arts you draw a special power. The discipline required is awesome to be an actor or an actress, to be really good, not just another one waiting tables.

He is my fate. He's my soul mate. He pervades my whole existence. So, of course, I often ignore him.

Preaching is not a profession, it’s a passion

How strange a thing is the heart of man!

Buying cheap to save money is like stopping the clock to save time. Neither works.

Late style gets simpler and shorter, and here, I'm getting more abundant as I get older!

Dancing with death meant being committed to killing, committed with your heart and soul.
