“Everyone has their own idea of the perfect partner, but they usually do not consider what it is they have to offer one.”

“Men and men, men and women, whatever the permutation, in the end one partner usually feels more than the other and that partner usually suffers for it.”

“...as our gaze into the luminous vastness deepens and strengthens, and the prayer word grows quiet, and spiritual practices fall away due to their own ripened readiness, so do our projections onto monasteries, cathedrals, canyons and mountains, and the 'perfect partner' also fall away. When we discover unshakably that the God we seek has already found us, then the 'monastery' or 'mountain' or 'perfect partner' does not have the same pull. They are no longer holding out to us a reflection of our innermost self that is one with God.”

“What one person does, several people usually consider.”

“Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one and they are usually full of sh*t!”

“It is not usual to speak of an employee as a partner, and yet what else is he?”
