“The simplest spiritual discipline is some degree of solitude and silence. But it's the hardest, because none of us want to be with someone we don't love.

Such silence is the most spacious and empowering technique in the world, yet it's not a technique at all. It's precisely the refusal of all technique.”

“The world isn't a sad place, it's just big.”

“Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.”
