“In the world that lies ahead, religious pluralism is going to penetrate all cultures. How we live together with different points of view is going to become more and more important. I don’t know whether we can make progress in such a project without a contemplative practice that alerts us to our own biases, prejudices, and self-centered programs for happiness, especially when they trample on other people’s rights and needs.”
― Thomas Keating, The Human Condition: Contemplation and Transformation

“What is the truest, most beautiful story about your life you can imagine?”

“May it fill your heart with joy to extend your family to include every insect, native plant or animal and fluffy bird that finds sanctuary there with you.”

“Everything feels inexhaustibly holy. This is not what they taught you in the church of your childhood. Your soul has been formed in the forge of life's losses, galvanized in the crucible of community, fertilized by the rain of relationship, blessed by your intimacy with Mother Earth. You have glimpsed the face of the divine where you least expected it.”
