The tightrope this question implies is one I have walked my entire adult life, often stumbling, then righting myself and trying again.

I am a practitioner of unconditional love. This doesn’t mean I like everyone. It means I love the essence of who they

“You have to approach God or whatever is there sideways, at an angle. Through dance or art or, okay, yoga, or breathing practices – something that opens the doorways of the senses, makes you accessible, because God isn’t accessible. You are.”
― Amy Weintraub, TEMPLE DANCER”
Amy Weintraub, Temple Dancer

“You have to approach God or whatever is there sideways, at an angle. Through dance or art or, okay, yoga, or breathing practices – something that opens the doorways of the senses, makes you accessible, because God isn’t accessible. You are.”
Amy Weintraub, Temple Dancer

“I rejoice that I have a heart big enough to break over and over again.”
Amy Weintraub, Yoga for Depression: A Compassionate Guide to Relieve Suffering Through Yoga

“And then,
There was a love
Shining so bright,
That even the darkest part
Of our hearts
Felt the warmth”
Bryonie Wise, HEART ROAR: A Book of Tiny Prayers

“You have to approach God or whatever is there sideways, at an angle. Through dance or art or, okay, yoga, or breathing practices – something that opens the doorways of the senses, makes you accessible, because God isn’t accessible. You are.”
Amy Weintraub, Temple Dancer

“When you look for God,
God is in the look of your eyes
In the thought of looking, nearer to you than your self,
or things that have happened to you

There’s no need to go outside.
Be melting snow.
Wash yourself of yourself.

A white flower grows in the quietness.
Let your tongue become that flower.”
Rumi
