“What God doesn’t will, I do not wish for.”
“What God doesn’t will, I do not wish for.”
“All of life…invites us into the experience of radical amazement that is a doorway to the divine.”
“He who finds peace and joy and radiance within himself – that man becomes one with God and vanishes into God’s bliss.”
“Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long…[l]et it all pass. Let it go.”
“What keeps us from joining the dance / the dust particles do?”
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
“To pay close attention to and mostly accept your life, inside and out and around your body, is to be halfway home.”
