All over the world, people live in intimate daily contact with one another. They wash together, eat together, sleep together, face challenges together, share joy and sorrow. The rugged individual who relies on no one else is a figure who can only exist in a culture of domination, where a privileged few use more of the world's resources than the many who must daily be without.

As long as a man remains in a state of psychological development in which his mother is the most important woman to him, he cannot mature as a man. A man's eros, his capacity for love and relatedness, must be freed from attachment to the mother and able to reach out to a woman who is his contemporary. Otherwise, he remains a demanding, dependent, childish person.

Love empowers us to surrender. We do not need to have endless anxiety and worry about whether we will fulfill our goals and plans. Death is always there to remind us that our plans are transitory.

I try to learn to leave folks as though we might never be meeting again. This practice makes us change how we talk and interact. It is a way to live consciously.

To see it [death] always and only as a negative subject is to lose sight of its power to enhance every moment.

To live fully we would need to let go of our fear of dying. That fear can only be addressed by the love of living.

The more we watch spectacles of meaningless death, of random violence and cruelty, the more afraid we become in our daily lives. We cannot embrace the stranger with love, for we fear the stranger.

Cultures of domination court death, hence the ongoing fascination with violence, the false insistence that it is natural.

You have to trust that every friendship has no end, that a communion of saints exists among all those, living and dead, who have truly loved God and one another. You know from experience how real this is. Those you have loved deeply and who have died with one another, not just as memories, but as real presences.
