"If you want to know the value of a minute ask the person who came to the train station or airport a minute late."

"Don't equate effective living to being busy."

"We were the only two people in the entire airport who lost total track of time, for we were consumed by space-time at that present moment. Time was irrelevant to our existence, for we didn't want to exist outside the tight and glorious knots of each other's arms.

All that there is, is the present."

"If you refuse to deal with time today, time will deal with you tomorrow."

"To recover a spiritual tradition in which creation, and the study of creation, matters would be to inaugurate new possibilities between spirituality and science that would shape the paradigms for culture, its institution, and its people."

"A job is something we do to get a paycheck and pay our bills. Jobs are legitimate, at times, but work is why we are here in the universe. Work and calling often go together."
