Every one of us needs a home. The world needs a home. There are so many young people who are homeless. They may have a building to live in, but they are homeless in their hearts. That is why the most important practice of our time, is to give each person a home.

Thich Nhat Hanh


I understand that my body goes with this world, so I take care of it. My attitude is that the body is a temple. This is a place where God can dwell. What am I doing to make it a place where God is welcome?

John Morton


We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present.

"Peace is the least dense state you can experience while in a physical body. It has no goal except itself. It has no agenda. One who is at peace has great flexibility, great patience, great compassion. S/he has no need to try to fix anyone, no need to improve the world. One who is at peace naturally improves the world just by being. S/he breathes peace, talks peace, and walks peace. There is no effort, no attempt to fix. Nothing in the world is broken. The perception of pain is healed just by seeing it differently. When you look through the eyes of love, there is no situation which cannot be accepted as it is. There is no injustice anywhere apart from the eyes of the beholder. And it is the beholder, in the end, who must let his pain go and see the world differently."

Paul Ferrini


Men are born soft and supple; dead, they are stiff and hard. Plants are born tender and pliant; Dead, they are brittle and dry. Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible Is a disciple of death. Whoever is soft and yielding Is a disciple of life. The hard and stiff will be broken. The soft and supple will prevail.



Tao Te Ching




"We see ourselves as broken, and then set out on a long and frustrating journey to fill our emptiness. But it is not fixing that we require; it is awakening."

Alan Cohen
