If we ever hope to know the nature of true spiritual peace, we must do the best we can to meet each moment -- as fully as possible -- from the whole of ourselves, and then witness the results... in silence...

The only thing a thousand failed attempts to find the peace we seek proves is this: some unknown part of us -- we've mistaken as being us -- keeps us looking in all the wrong places...

The more we realize our higher, true role in life is to act as an agent for atoning the appearance of “what is” with “what has been” -- by agreeing to surrender the parts of us that interfere with this reconciliation -- the more we see the beauty of this sacrifice as inseparable from an ineffable peace that comes with no longer being apart from Real Life.

We have an essential need to be at peace. Part of that essential need to be at peace is to know that we are in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing, and to know it in such a fashion that nothing can come along and convince us that we are not. Have you ever thought to yourself "I'm doing the right thing at the right time" and someone said, "No, you're not," and everything fe...

This much is true: all things must pass, and our earthly life along with them. But let that coming day find us having already stripped ourselves of whatever this world, and its fears, would claim for their own.
