Every person: God.
Every animal, every plant: God.
Everything: God, God!
The slightest contact is worship.

The solution
is in the present.

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

Stop struggling for perfection,
and recognize the perfection
you already are.

In every moment reach out
to the One
barely hidden
behind the kaleidoscopic many.

The question is not
whether or not you believe.
The real question is
whether or not you are determined
to find out for yourself.

We embody
each other.

somehow the battered heart
blossoms with such beauty,
no hint of past hurts

Each step is a step into
the unknown.

Find the joy
that quietly glows in your chest,
the joy that glows with brazen disregard
for your lurching tears and laughter.

We wake up a little more
when we read a good poem.

A true vision is the voice of nature,
the intention of the universe,
uniquely tuned to our soul.

The world is so filled with magic
that we’ve become blind to it.

Enlightenment all the way to enlightenment.

Your life needs one crucial ingredient:

you!

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

A book and a building are not enough.
The human spirit needs cathedrals of trees,
towering mountains, and fields
of spring wildflowers as places of prayer.
