“meditation is a delightful and spontaneous thing to do. It is the continual act of making friends with yourself.”
― Shambhala Publications, Radical Compassion: Shambhala Publications Authors on the Path of Boundless Love

“Without compassion for oneself, without a sense of one’s own goodness and value, it is hard to develop the confidence to engage effectively with the world. And without compassion for other beings, without a sense of our profound interconnectedness, it is hard to find the courage to break the habit of focusing solely on our own limited self-concerns.”
― Shambhala Publications, Radical Compassion: Shambhala Publications Authors on the Path of Boundless Love

“The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Illuminated Rumi

“Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.”
― Rumi
