Only a total dance, an authentic love, a whole-hearted joy, may perhaps create some miracles around you.
But you will not be the one who has done them; you will not be the one who can brag about them.
They will happen only when you are not.

Let the Universe handle it
When someone says or does something that I find either obnoxious or unattractive – anything that my ego uses to separate myself from others – I’ll just soften my eyes and fall back into that “something else.” That something else is what does the transforming – it is the grace that makes it work. My only effort is to be aware enough to realize what’s happening. The moment of realizing is actually, in itself, a form of healing. The moment I see that and am willing to fall back into grace, then there’s a possibility for something different to happen within myself. Instead of judging an experience – which makes more separation- I can fall back into letting the universe handle it. This is a gift that’s quite freeing.

Time for what is essential
Not just writers, but politicians, journalists and most of modern distracted society…
Most writers waste people’s time with too many words. I’m trying to reduce everything down to the minimum.
My last work will be a blank piece of paper.

Just start
I don’t think that you have to get all your inner stuff together and totally integrated before you can actually be what you’ve realized. You’re going to wait forever if you wait for that.
Just start being what you know now.

Problems as opportunities
View all problems as challenges.
Look upon negativities that arise as opportunities to learn and to grow.
Don’t run from them, condemn yourself, or bury your burden in saintly silence.
You have a problem? Great.
More grist for the mill.
Rejoice, dive in, and investigate.
