Anything that is beyond question
should immediately be questioned.

Real words
are born in silence

Be fully present.
Be totally naked.
Let the energy flow.
Feel everything.
Accept yourself completely.

We need to retrain our eyes to see
the spaces between and the secrets behind.

When we call out to God,
we are actually hearing God calling to us.
All of creation is a part of God,
and its every song, when heard with an open ear,
is really the song of God to God.

A helping hand
is a holy thing.

Unedited memory.
Undistracted mind.
Unbound identity.
Unlimited awareness.

The encounters of this moment
fill the world.

Don’t ask questions
with simple answers.
Ask the questions
that bring you face-to-face with the Mystery.

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

When you know where the Beloved lives,
you are content,
no need to argue with others over street names.

Be thankful for this day
of possibility.
Who knows what magic will unfold?

Remember gratitude.

Each one of us does not exist
except as an empty field
in which God meets God.
We are the flash of self-recognition
that lights the face of the Divine.

There is an inner perfection
the same for everyone.
The psyche may go through the motions,
but its journey is done.

Who am I excluding from my heart?
How can I fix that?

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