Text Quotes
First we forgive ourselves, then we forgive others and life itself  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) Don’t persuade, defend or interrupt. Be curious, be conversational, be real. And listen  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) Life’s always changing. We always are being called to adapt  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) It is the acceptance of death that has finally allowed me to choose life  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) Grief is an expression that you loved well  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) The world needs women to redefine what it means to be a person of power  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) When you feel yourself breaking down, may you break open instead  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) Spirituality is a brave search for the truth about existence, fearlessly peering into the mysterious nature of life  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) But grief is also a tonic. It is a healing elixir, made of tears that lubricate the heart  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) I’ve realized that aging is the younger cousin of dying.... How much time do I have left? We become aware that we’re on the downside of the mountain, coasting toward our final days  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) If you have fathered a child, if you have given birth, if sex is a source of healthy pleasure, thank your pelvis and your reproductive organs for allowing you to feel the creative rhythms of life  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) Love is the secret you unmask yourself to find; it is the foundation of the spiritual life, the destination where all roads of the journey lead  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) A broken heart is not the same as sadness. Sadness occurs when the heart is stone cold and lifeless. On the contrary, there is an unbelievable amount of vitality in a broken heart  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) It seems to be almost a law of physics, that the winds of change awaken fear and fundamentalism  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) Some people, who are deeply involved in an organized, traditional religion, find it very difficult to accept that their way isn’t the only way. And that their sacred text isn’t the only text and it must be taken literally  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) If you’re interested in opening the doors to the heavens, start with the door to your own secret self. See what happens when you offer to another a glimpse of who you truly are. When your heart is undefended, you make it safe for whomever you meet to put down his burden of hiding, and then you both can walk through the open door  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) Every day we’re given a choice: We can relax and float in the direction that the water flows, or we can swim hard against it. If we go with the river, the energy of a thousand mountain streams will be with us... if we resist the river, we will feel rankled and tired as we tread water, stuck in the same place  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) If you’re interested in the door to the heavens opening, start with the door to your own secret self  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) Look for a way to lift someone up. If that’s all you do, it’s enough  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) Agree to these ground rules: Be curious, conversational and real. Don’t persuade or interrupt. Listen, listen, listen  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) May you listen to the voice within the beat even when you are tired. When you feel yourself breaking down, may you break open instead. May every experience in life be a door that opens your heart, expands your understanding and leads you to freedom  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) Every day we have the opportunity to make our relationships be on the outside what they really are on a spiritual level  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) If we do not suffer a loss all the way to the end, it will wait for us. It won’t just dissipate and disappear. Rather, it will fester, and we will experience its sorrow later, in stranger forms  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) What will matter is the good we did, not the good we expected others to do  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) How strange that the nature of life is change, yet the nature of human beings is to resist change  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) If spirituality is not religion or cynicism or sentimentality or narcissism, then what is it?... we can confidently say... that spirituality is fearlessness. It is a way of looking boldly at this life we have been given, here, now, on earth, as this human being  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) When we slow down, quiet the mind, and allow ourselves to feel hungry for something that we do not understand, we are dipping into the abundant well of spiritual longing  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) Meditation practice is like piano scales, basketball drills, ballroom dance class. Practice requires discipline; it can be tedious; it is necessary. After you have practiced enough, you become more skilled at the art form itself. You do not practice to become a great scale player or drill champion. You practice to become a musician or athlete. Likewise, one does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) When women hear each other’s stories, told from the heart, it gives us inspiration to keep on going  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes) Recognition of the harm that patriarchy has caused to people and the planet does not mean that men are wrong and women are right; rather it is a call for new organizational forms and for relishing gender differences within a context of equality  (Elizabeth Lesser Quotes)
