Any time that is not spent on love is wasted.

honesty is probably the sexiest thing
a man can give a woman

when you face the demons
in the deep dark forest
they tend to become
your friends

Your surroundings, home, personal care, pets, clothing & body
are all reflections of how you see and express yourself.
Do these reflect your true self?

If there is one door in the castle
you have been told not to go through, you must.
Otherwise you'll just be arranging furniture
in rooms you've already been in.

One's philosophy is not best expressed in words;
it is expressed in the choices one makes.
In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves.
The process never ends until we die.
And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

To live in this world, you must be able to do three things:
to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones
knowing your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

You are built to pull a cart,
to lift a heavy load and bear it,
to haul up the long slope, and so
am I, peasant bodies, earthy, solid
shapely dark glazed clay pots that can
stand on the fire.

Even in the running away from hurting, there is hurting.
In opening unprotected to the experience
that is enslaving you with its torment,
there is the willingness to be free.
Are you willing? Or do you just want to
wait until the world  finally gets it and does it your way?

The most sublime truth of all
has never been stated or written or sung.
Not because it is far away and can not be reached,
but because it is so intimately close,
closer than anything that can be spoken.
It is alive as the stillness in the core of your being
too close to be described, too close to be objectified,
too close to be known in the usual way of knowledge.
The truth of who you are is yours already.
It is already present...
