"Language is fossil poetry. As the limestone of the continent consists of infinite masses of the shells of animalcules, so language is made up of images, or tropes, which now, in their secondary use, have long ceased to remind us of their poetic origin."

"With a clear intention and a willing spirit, sooner or later we experience the joy and freedom that arises when we recognize our common humanity with others and see that real love excludes no one."
Humanity
"If we truly loved ourselves, we'd never harm another. That is a truly revolutionary, celebratory mode of self-care."
Compassion
"The practice of sympathetic joy is rooted in inner development. It's not a matter of learning techniques to "make friends and influence people. Instead, we build the foundations of our own happiness. When our own cup is full, we more easily share it with others."
Happiness
"When we contemplate the miracle of embodied life, we begin to partner with our bodies in a kinder way."
Health

Philosophy
"When we bring deep awareness to whatever's bothering us, the same things might be happening, but we are able to relate to them differently."
Awareness
"Our path, our sense of spirituality demands great earnestness, dedication, sincerity & continuity."
Devotion
"When we constantly hear that we should be smarter, better connected, more productive, wealthier-it takes real courage to claim the time and space to follow the currents of our talents, our aspirations, and our hearts, which may lead in a very different direction."
Life
"When we believe a wounding story, our whole world is diminished."
Belief
"Maybe what we really need is to change our relationship to what is, to see who we are with the strength of a generous spirit & a wise heart."
