The more spacious and larger our fundamental nature, the more bearable the pains in living Picture Quote #1

Just because we are working hard does not mean we are making anything happen Picture Quote #1

Emptiness is the pregnant void out of which all creation springs. But many of us fear emptiness. We prefer to remain... surrounded by things... we imagine are subject to our control Picture Quote #1

Sabbath requires surrender. If we only stop when we are finished with all our work, we will never stop, because our work is never completely done. With every accomplishment there arises a new responsibility... Sabbath dissolves the artificial urgency of our days, because it liberates us from the need to be finished Picture Quote #1

In the soil of the quick fix is the seed of a new problem, because our quiet wisdom is unavailable Picture Quote #1

Even in the middle of a hurricane, the bottom of the sea is calm. As the storm rages and the winds howl, the deep waters sway in gentle rhythm, a light movement of fish and plant life. Below there is no storm Picture Quote #1

The heart of most spiritual practices is simply this: Remember who you are. Remember what you love. Remember what is sacred. Remember what is true. Remember that you will die and that this day is a gift. Remember how you wish to live Picture Quote #1

Some of us have a hard time believing that we are actually able to face our own pain. We have convinced ourselves that our pain is too deep, too frightening, something to avoid at all costs. Yet if we finally allow ourselves to feel the depth of that sadness and gently let it break our hearts, we may come to feel a great freedom, a genuine sense of release and peace, because we have finally stopped running away from ourselves and from the pain that lives within us Picture Quote #1

Effortlessness is the ability to slow down and listen for the spaces between the joints... Deep within all things there is a natural rhythm, a music of opening and closing, expansion and contraction Picture Quote #1

When we do what we love, again and again, our life comes to hold the fragrance of that thing Picture Quote #1

What we love and what captures our curiosity draws us forward into some place of great destiny Picture Quote #1

We are called to be strong companions and clear mirrors to one another, to seek those who reflect with compassion and a keen eye how we are doing, whether we seem centered or off course... we need the nourishing company of others to create the circle needed for growth, freedom and healing Picture Quote #1

The greatest barrier to own own healing is not the pain, sorrow or violence inflicted upon us as children. Our greatest hindrance is our ongoing capacity to judge, to criticize, and to bring tremendous harm to ourselves. If we can harden our heart against ourselves and meet our most tender feelings with anger and condemnation, we simultaneously armor our heart against the possibility of gentleness, love and healing Picture Quote #1

When we come close to those things that break us down, we touch those things that also break us open. And in that breaking open, we uncover our true nature Picture Quote #1
