Because you are alive, everything is possible.

The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not.

Do something you really love in the most adventurous place you can and make sure it helps other people.

Spirituality is ultimate greed. You don't just want a piece of creation - you want the source of creation.

When will I ever learn to accept what is given instead of always yearning for more? My lavish expectations too often tarnish my blessings.

Prayer is the means by which God has established for God's people to invite the spiritual into the physical, and the invisible realm into the visible realm.
