“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.”

'You can’t have a relationship with someone you don’t pay attention to, and in your relationship to the universe, attention is paid here and now, or not at all. In fact, there's no universe except the one you perceive right now. So to relate to the universe, you must focus on what lies in front of you. As one teacher said, “The wholeness of creation is needed to bring about the present moment.”

"The river that flows in you also flows in me."

"The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty ‘yes’ to your adventure."

"People often ask me questions that I cannot very well answer in words, and it makes me sad to think they are unable to hear the voice of my silence."
