We become increasingly aware that the human dream, the human drama, with all its questionable, damaging, and often malevolent intention is not real life at all.

Wise individuals frequently say very little, but what they do say hits the mark. Such remarks often remain in the mind of the recipient for a long time, possibly a lifetime.

Food for the ego is poison for the soul.

We love with all our heart but we also keep our heart light and pliable. It has space. It breathes. It waits on life to give instructions. It sings with sweetness when the winds are soft and warm. It stands with calm patience when the storm is brewing. It lets go when endings have left their irrefutable mark. It moves. It heals. It hopes.

Sometimes, to protect a secret we will say it so openly that most will not suspect the truth of what we are saying.

Being liked or not, having company or not, being understood or not, being acknowledged or not are not issues of concern on the spiritual path.
