The courage to go deeper is found by letting your desire grow larger than your fear.

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living, I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

What if the question is not why I am so infrequently the person I really want to be, but why do I so infrequently want to be the person I really am?

There is nowhere to go. What you are looking for is right here. Open the fist clenched in wanting and see what you already hold in your hand

When we surrender when we do not fight with life when it calls upon us we are lifted and the strength to do what needs to be done finds us.

We have been sold a lifestyle, when what our soul desired was life.

I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence.

Not doing is not about immobility or giving up in despair. It is first and foremost about being able to be with, to accept fully, what is in this moment.

I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”

For a friend with an understanding heart is worth no less than a brother

no life of faith can be lived privately. There must be an overflow into the lives of others.

I was happy. I loved the night, I loved t so much it almost hurt. In the night everything seemed possible. I wasn't sleepy at all.

Don't despair, not even over the fact that you don't despair.

There are some long silences in Scandinavian and some Japanese films, when the audience knows action is taking place, but the audience hears no action.

What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless.

In my opinion, most organized religion does neither agentic service nor relational nurturance very well.

Progress would be wonderful - if only it would stop.

I started skateboarding at around age 10, and enjoyed the artistic aspect of it as much as the sporting aspect, so for me it was more of an art form and a lifestyle.

I avow myself the partisan of truth alone.
