Did you ever really listen to him? ...For if you did you would know him. And if you knew him you would know why we must honor him.'

Live your life like you're 80 looking back on your teenager years. You know if your dad calls you at eight in the morning and asks if you want to go out for breakfast.

It just little things like that, that helped me when I was a teenager in terms of making choices you won't regret.

When your mind is quiet, you enter into the flow of love, and you just flow from one moment to the next as naturally as breathing. Whatever arises, I embrace it with love in the moment.

If someone asks me how to get into their heart, I give them this practice: I Am Loving Awareness.
Ram DassRead
Saint Paul asks his disciple Timothy to "aim at faith" (2 Tim 2:22) with the same constancy as when he was a boy (cf. 2 Tim 3:15).

I want to talk to him. I want to ask him about that girl and if he loved her and still misses her. Nothing, however, exits my mouth. How well do we really let ourselves know each other? There's a long quietness until I finally break it open. It reminds me of someone breaking bread and handing it out. In my case, I hand out a question to my friend.
Markus ZusakRead
