“Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand new situation. Love can co-sign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger because we lack the courage to stretch out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life.”

“But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering for in every love lies the seed of our growth. The more we love, the closer we come to spiritual experience.”

“Traditional religious practices are important: they allow us to share with others the communal experience of adoration and prayer. But we must never forget that spiritual experience is above all a practical experience of love. And with love, there are no rules.”
