“Despite illness of body or mind, in spite of blinding despair or habitual belief, who you are is whole.
Let nothing keep you separate from the truth. The soul, illumined from within, longs to be known for what it is.
Undying, untouched by fire or the storms of life, there is a place inside where stillness and abiding peace reside.You can ride the breath to go there.
Despite doubt or hopeless turns of mind, you are not broken. Spirit surrounds, embraces, fills you from the inside out. Release everything that isn't your true nature. What's left, the fullness, light and shadow, claim all that as your birthright.”

“Why wait for your awakening?
The moment your eyes are open, seize the day.
Would you hold back when the Beloved beckons?
Would you deliver your litany of sins like a child's collection of sea shells, prized and labeled?
"No, I can't step across the threshold," you say, eyes downcast.
"I'm not worthy, I'm afraid, and my motives aren't pure."
"I'm not perfect, and surely I haven't practiced nearly enough."
"My meditation isn't deep, and my prayers are sometimes insincere."
"I still chew my fingernails, and the refrigerator isn't clean."
Do you value your reasons for staying small more than the light shining though the open door?
Forgive yourself.
Now is the only time you have to be whole.
Now is the sole moment that exists to live in the light of your true Self.
Perfection is not a prerequisite for anything but pain.
Please, oh please, don't continue to believe in your disbelief.
This is the day of your awakening.”

“Settle in the here and now.
Reach down into the center
where the world is not spinning
and drink this holy peace.
Feel relief flood into every
cell. Nothing to do. Nothing
to be but what you are already.
Nothing to receive but what
flows effortlessly from the
mystery into form.
Nothing to run from or run
toward. Just this breath,
Awareness knowing itself as
embodiment. Just this breath,
awareness waking up to truth.”

“This is what I have to say to you.
You are connected through breath, connected by the very
essence of your being,
not because you believe or know or practice, but
because your soul is always plugged in,
always whole.
Without having to do anything in particular,
you are the bridge
between the infinite and this transient realm of form.
Your connection isn’t something you can win or lose,
and while you must choose to be aware of it,
the divine is there, inside and out,
ever present,
whether you feel it or not.”
