More quotes by Wayne Muller
Just because we are working hard does not mean we are making anything happen.
Wayne Muller
The more spacious and larger our fundamental nature, the more bearable the pains in living.
Wayne Muller

A gift is like a seed it is not an impressive thing. It is what can grow from the seed that is impressive. If we wait until our seed becomes a tree before we offer it, we will wait and wait, and the seed will die from lack of planting.... The miracle is not just the gift the miracle is in the offering, for if we do not offer, who will?

Wayne Muller
With every breath, the possibility of a new aspect of self arises.
Wayne Muller
Gratitude invites a sense of sufficiency.
Wayne Muller
What if the healing of the world utterly depends on the ten-thousand invisible kindnesses we offer simply and quietly throughout the pilgrimage of each human life?
Wayne Muller
The last place we tend to look for healing is within ourselves.
Wayne Muller
What we love and what captures our curiosity draws us forward into some place of great destiny.
Wayne Muller
We become what we love. Whatever you are giving your time and attention to, day after day, is the kind of person you will eventually become.
Wayne Muller
Can it then be that what we call the 'self' is fluid and elastic? It evolves, strikes a different balance with every new breath.
Wayne Muller
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.
Wayne Muller
Meditation helps me feel the shape, the texture of my inner life. Here, in the quiet, I can begin to taste what Buddhists would call my true nature, what Jews call the still, small voice, what Christians call the holy spirit.
