“Life responds when we risk”

“We are never further from the truth than when we are certain.”

“The cause of our suffering is not what we do, but the way we perceive.”

“Most of us do not know how to die. It is not something we have rehearsed or practiced. We have a mind full of ideas about what will happen but little if any actual experience with the process. We need to have someone who knows, guides, teaches and reassures us, someone we can trust, someone who will stand naked with us, who will not be overwhelmed. The dying need much more than pat answers or good feelings. Their hearts call for someone who can open into the unknown, someone who will travel the road of fear with them. To find such a companion is a very rare and precious occurrence.”

“Life isn’t about what happens to us; life is about how we respond to what happens to us.”

“If we go into battle with a mindset of defeat, we will come out of the battle defeated.”

“Life's a short trip. You'll find out.”
