When we understand karma and intention, we are given the opportunity to set the compass of our heart and dedicate ourselves to our highest intention. That is what will transform our world.

A peaceful heart gives birth to love. When love meets suffering it turns to compassion. When love meets happiness, it turns to joy. When we touch peace, love, joy and compassion in ourselves, we are transformed.

To understand the weave of life, we need to find the other threads. Inner and outer connections enliven our kinship to life. As we pull back the curtains and open the windows, and stop making everything in our own image, we let life reach us, one colorful thread at a time.

Pure consciousness is never just me, trapped inside myself. Rather, it is an observing of “me” that allows us to see our connectedness. As we awaken in the beginner's mind we expand consciousness and allow for the surprises of insight and awe.

Living authentically, we trip into the heart of things and experience the interconnectedness of things again and again. The gentler we are, the more capable we are of letting things enter and move on through. We surrender into awe and become intimate with the mystery of life.

To see things with a quiet mind and an open heart is the way to liberation and integration. When we see with the eyes of oneness we know that we live in a fully sacred universe where everything is a pointer to an epiphany.

Soul is our appetite, driving us to eat from the banquet of life. People filled with the hunger of soul take food from every dish before them, whether it is sweet or bitter. Living life is nourishing to the soul, and there’s a lot of living to do.

If we could see that everything, even tragedy, is a gift in disguise, we would then find the best way to nourish the soul. Nurturing the soul means opening our hearts to the lessons of life and surrendering to what we have learned.

Here we live in two questions: What nourishes the soul? and How does the soul nourish us? When experience is viewed in a certain way, it presents nothing but doorways into the domain of the soul, and they are all found in the present moment.

We all experience “soul moments” in everyday life. During those moments, our body, as well as our brain, resonates as we experience the glory of being a human being.
