We are neither the components of our identity–nor are we their sum. Our presence is real, everything else is made up.
As residents of time and space, our lives are partial and constrained, but our love for one another doesn't have to be.
With every breath we manifest life, with every kindness we give it profound purpose.
Acceptance without conditions, appreciation without reservation, honesty without criticism. This I ask of me for you.
Clarity comes when we are fully aware and perfectly still. It is a quality of being, not a level of knowledge.
Every evil act begins with a mind that cannot see truth. Every kindness, a mind that cannot turn away from it.
We are one that became many, and we are trying to think our way to our own love.
The pure fact of this one endless, ever-changing moment is the most remarkable adventure of all.
A child's eyes are windows to a world where love and laughter are the whole point of existence.
It is important to appreciate the profoundly beautiful forms of life on this planet. All further reveal what we are.
Life itself is on a journey, and when we care for each other, the frequency of life ascends.
