To find its perfection
the soul must reveal
its imperfections.

You live in the most sacred place
in the universe:
right here,
right now.

Let that charged space
spark inside you and flash.

Whether our stories are epic or humble,
whether we live on the sharp edges or the flat plains,
we are all on an immense journey.

We don’t find gateways.
We ourselves open.

You have permission
to be rude
when protecting the vulnerable.

Language is the first tool wielded
and the last chain escaped.

The deepest mystery
is in the mirror.

Each day should be approached
with amazement, wonder, gratitude.
After all, what have you done
to earn the inconceivable gift of life?

The awakened heart
is the true church.

Love and compassion are effortless.
The soul is exhausted by the effort
to stop this natural outpouring
of the living heart.

An empathic heart
is what keeps us alive
and on the spiritual path.

Find a new way each day
to let love pour
through your being.

Each day
magically unfolds possibility
into reality.

Religion is not to close your mind,
but to open your heart.

Gratitude opens us daily.

Encounter every instant
entirely as it is,
in pure wonder.
