God dwells within you, as you.

Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark. If we truly knew all the answers in advance as to the meaning of life and the nature of God and the destiny of our souls, our belief would not be a leap of faith and it would not be a courageous act of humanity; it would just be... a prudent insurance policy.

Look for God, suggests my Guru. Look for God like a man with his head on fire looks for water.

You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestation of your own blessings.

When you're lost in those woods, it sometimes takes you a while to realize that you are lost. For the longest time, you can convince yourself that you've just wandered off the path, that you'll find your way back to the trailhead any moment now. Then night falls again and again, and you still have no idea where you are, and it's time to admit that you have bewildered yourself so far off the path that you don't even know from which direction the sun rises anymore.

Someday you're gonna look back on this moment of your life as such a sweet time of grieving. You'll see that you were in mourning and your heart was broken, but your life was changing...

Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch. Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark.

I want to be with God all the time. But I don't want to be a monk, or totally give up worldly pleasures. I guess what i want to learn is how to live in this world and enjoy its delights, but also devote myself to God.

Someone has to write all those stories: why not me?

You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.

The love that moves the sun and the other stars.
