More quotes by Wayne Muller
To pray is no small thing. It is nothing less than a sacred pilgrimage into the heart of the whole world.
Wayne Muller
The last place we tend to look for healing is within ourselves.
Wayne Muller
For thousands of years we have gathered in circle--around fires, around bodies, around altars--because we can't do this alone.
Wayne Muller
What we choose to love is very important for what we love leads our eyes, ears, and hearts on a pilgrimage that shapes the texture of our lives.
Wayne Muller
All life has emptiness at its core it is the quiet hollow reed through which the wind of God blows and makes the music that is our life.
Wayne Muller
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.
Wayne Muller
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.
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
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
Be not afraid. A kind life, a life of spirit, is fundamentally a life of courage-the courage simply to bring what you have, to bring who you are.
Wayne Muller
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.
Wayne Muller
A kind life...is fundamentally a life of courage.
Wayne Muller
True kindness is rooted in a deep sense of abundance, out of which flows a sense that even as I give, it is being given back to me.
Wayne Muller
What we love and what captures our curiosity draws us forward into some place of great destiny.
Wayne Muller
In the soil of the quick fix is the seed of a new problem, because our quiet wisdom is unavailable.
Wayne Muller
All life requires a rhythm of rest. . . There is a rhythm in the way day dissolves into night, and night into morning. There is a rhythm as the active growth of spring and summer is quieted by the necessary dormancy of fall and winter. There is a tidal rhythm, a deep, eternal conversation between the land and the great sea.
Wayne Muller
Because we do not rest we lose our way...Poisoned by the hypnotic belief that good things come only through unceasing determination and tireless effort, we never truly rest. And for want of rest, our lives are in danger.
Wayne Muller
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.
Wayne Muller
Every day, we are given countless opportunities to offer our gifts to those at work, in our families, our relationships.... If you give less than what you are, you dishonor the gift of your own precious life.
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.
