“Ha-Ha. Son, they're children, not pets. We're not here to train them. Kids come into this world filled with their own ideas and ways to view the world. It's our job to help them realize those ideas even if they're different than our own. We need to try to see the world through their eyes, not force them to see it through ours.”

“Stop trying to heal yourself, fix yourself, even awaken yourself. Let go of letting go. Stop trying to fast-forward the movie of your life, chasing futures that never seem to arrive. Instead, bow deeply to yourself as you actually are. Your pain, your sorrow, your doubts, your deepest longing, your fearful thoughts...are not mistakes, and they aren't asking to be healing. They are asking to be held. Here, now, lightly, in the loving arms of present awareness.”
