Wisdom worth sharing, words worth remembering.
I want to be a cheerleader for women who have never even considered running for office or being involved in a campaign but who in the quietness of their hearts might think 'Why not me?'
In our natural state we are glorious beings. In the world of illusion we are lost and imprisoned slaves to our appetites and our will to false power.
In every community there is work to be done. In every nation there are wounds to heal. In every heart there is the power to do it.
We receive His peace when we ask Him for it. We keep His peace by extending it to others. Those are the keys and there are no others.
Fill you mind with the meaningless stimuli of a world preoccupied with meaningless things and it will not be easy to feel peace in your heart.
The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.
We need to shift from an economic organizing principle for human civilization to a humanitarian organizing principle. Making money more important than your own children is a pathological way for an individual to run their affairs and it's a pathological way for a society to run its affairs.
Some men know that a light touch of the tongue running from a woman's toes to her ears lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between given often enough and sincerely enough would add immeasurably to world peace.
May we not succumb to thoughts of violence and revenge today but rather to thoughts of mercy and compassion. We are to love our enemies that they might be returned to their right minds.
We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what's wrong in your life or you can focus on what's right.
The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.
Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.
