Classroom Talk: 5/19/2021 - How could we ever know even the smallest thing about the possibility of Unconditional Love -- that perfectly still, undivided Divine center-point from out of which creation itself comes into existence -- were it not for our gift of being able to bear witness to the union of the opposites within us...

Classroom Talk: 2/23/2020 - The more (we) mistakenly open a door to any negative reaction that comes knock-knock-knocking there, the more it will come back around - bringing "relatives" with it - until there's neither place nor peace left in our Home that we can call our own.
