Joy is the happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens. David Steindl-Rast

Nothing brings the worlds of spirit and earth together more quickly than the kinship of gratitude.

The goal of all experience is to remove whatever might keep us from being whole. Nepo

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These are your greatest treasures.

Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world. Lao-tzu

Wherever we stop is the summit…

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other”

doesn’t make any sense.
—Rumi
