When we turn our gaze to the inside, it becomes difficult to locate this familiar sense of self. To overcome that fear we need to feel special in some way.

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.

We have all had serendipitous moments - the most unlikely meetings out of nowhere - that can happen when we have this quality of deep acceptance towards ourselves.

Day by day, tiny specks of us float away.

To keep faith with life is to experience that everything- everything that comes to us whatever it is- has its place in the puzzle of our existence.

I certainly spent many years in my early life chasing all over the globe for meaning and purpose. I'd feel like I'd found it, then it would fade away again.

Purpose stirs creativity, without purpose you life will be in abnormal use(abuse).

Magic is always an illusion and love a magic of illusion.

Exploitation to finance a beach house in Hawaii was one thing. Doing it to feed your kids was another.

True leadership isn't about having an idea. It's about having an idea and recruiting other people to execute on this vision.

I am criticizing a culture that has sold the big lie that 'Mom doesn't matter.'

I think that there's a lot of good will that exists between musicians and the people that support them and listen to them.

Too quick a sense of constant infelicity.

Experience never errs; it is only your judgments that err by promising themselves effects such as are not caused by your experiments.

Each day is an occasion to reinvent ourselves

If the size of your vision for your life isn't intimidating to you, there's a good chance it's insulting to God.
