Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor.
I will need them all.

"Gratitude, not understanding, is the secret to joy and equanimity."

"Sometimes when you think you are done, it is just the edge of beginning. Probably that's why we decide we're done. It's getting too scary. We are touching down onto something real. It is beyond the point when you think you are done that often something strong comes out."

"Within each of us, there is a silence, a silence as vast as the universe. And when we experience that silence, we remember who we are..."

"I am not ashamed to cry. All of us need not be ashamed to cry. In fact, it may be the first step in unfreezing and working toward change."

  "Demons frighten us because we set ourselves up to be frightened. We are overly attached to our reputations and possessions. When we love and desire what we should be rejecting, we are in conflict with our true selves.That's when the negative energies catch us and use our weapons against us. Instead of taking up what we have to defend ourselves, we put our swords in the hands of our enemies and make them attack us."

"Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place."
