“We have fallen into the sugar shaker.
We are the ground beneath you.
Let someone else describe the sky.
Hold us in silence.
Do no throw us back
into some discussion.”
― Bridge to the Soul: Journeys Into the Music and Silence of the Heart

“Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is the way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.”

“The looking itself is a trace
of what we are looking for.
Be quiet now and wait.
It may be that the ocean one,
the one that we desire so to move into and become,
desires us out here on land a little longer,
going our sundry roads to the shore.”
