We cannot experience all of what's possible if we have unresolved issues with others. We cannot truly rejoice in the expression and the experience of God's love for us and receive that fully if our hearts are closed to even one person. As we forgive where there is pain or bitterness in our lives, we open our selves to an experience of true celebration.
Mary Manin Morrissey
It doesn't matter what spiritual practice you do as long as it takes you into your heart and helps you connect with the Source of Love. If it does that, then stay with it throughout all the twists and turns of your life. Hold to your practice. It is your lifeline. When storms come up unexpectedly, it keeps you afloat. Ever so gradually, it brings you home.
Paul Ferrini
At some point I believe one has to stop holding back for fear of alienating some imaginary reader or real relative or friend, and come out with personal truth. If we are to understand the human condition, and if we are to accept ourselves in all the complexity, self-doubt, extravagance of feeling, guilt, joy, the slow freeing of the self to its full capacity for action and creation, both as human being and as artist ....we have to know all we can about each other, and we have to be willing to go naked.
May Sarton
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Enlightenment is not about imagining figures of light but of making the darkness conscious.
C.G. Jung
