I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!

Sometimes I think there are only two instructions we need to follow to develop and deepen our spiritual life: slow down and let go.

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.

Loudly declaring our soul's desire can get the blood running and our passions blazing.

We have been sold a lifestyle, when what our soul desired was life.

The courage to go deeper is found by letting your desire grow larger than your fear.

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living, I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

... It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

The world we live in is a co-creation, a manifestation of individual consciousness woven into a collective dream. How we are with each other as individuals, as groups, as nations and tribes, is what shapes that dream.

There is nowhere to go. What you are looking for is right here. Open the fist clenched in wanting and see what you already hold in your hand
