For thousands of years we have gathered in circle--around fires, around bodies, around altars--because we can't do this alone.
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
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
Gratitude invites a sense of sufficiency.

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.
