When we heal ourselves, we heal the world.

I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.

The flower doesn't dream of the bee. It blossoms and the bee comes.

Even when clouds grow thick, the sun still pours its light earthward.

The key to knowing joy is being easily pleased.

The real & lasting practice for each of us is to remove what obstructs us so we can be who we are.

To journey without being changed, is to be a nomad. To change without journeying is to be a chameleon. To journey and to be transformed by the journeying is to be a pilgrim.

…I keep looking for one more teacher, only to find that fish learn from the water and birds learn from the sky.” (p.275)

Each of us carries some wisdom waiting to be discovered at the center of our experience. Everything we meet, if faced and held, reveals a part of that wisdom.

…there are no wrong turns, only unexpected paths.

Each moment spent on this bright blue planet is precious so use it carefully.

Legacy. What is a legacy?It’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see.

I'm perfectly willing to be perfectly human.

The world began in hazard and will end in it.

How rare to stare into the face of death... Something I never intend to do again.

Human beings have an almost unlimited capacity for self-delusion. We can justify any amount of sadness if it fits our own particular standard of reality.

When you trance out properly, when you're completely in that world, there is no other world, so there's no conflict.

My lyrics are my diary - you're hearing every detail of my life.
