Our Deepest Need Is For The Joy

Human Relationships Are The Perfect Tool For Sanding Away Our Rough Edges And Getting At The Core Of Divinity Within Us.

An Unhurried Mind Brings The Capacity To Make Wise Choices Every Day - Choices Of How We Use Our Time, Of Where We Place Our Resources And Our Love. I Am Not Just Talking About Avoiding The Rat Race, But About A Life Full Of An Artistic Beauty - A Life That Has Almost Vanished From Modern Civilization, But Is Quite Within The Reach Of Everyone.

Nothing Really Worth Having Comes Quickly And Easily. If It Did, I Doubt That We Would Ever Grow.

When We Are At Home With Ourselves, We Are At Home Everywhere In The World. When We Have Found Peace Within Ourselves, Peace And Love Follow Us Wherever We Go.

There Is A Close Relationship Between A House Full Of Possessions And A Heart Full Of Desires, Between A Cluttered Closet And A Crowded Schedule, Between Having No Place To Put Possessions And Having No Priorities For Our Life. These Are Precious Clues. They Remind Us To Slow Down, To Live In The Present, To Reduce The Desires That Drain Our Vitality, To Clarify Priorities So We Can Give Our Time And Attention To What Matters Most. Tragically, In The Press Of Modern Life, We Have Managed To Get Backwards One Of Life's Most Vital Truths: People Are To Be Loved; Things Are To Be Used.
