Reflections

Nothing is itself without everything else.

Finding where exactly the outside world ends and I begin—is not so easy.

Snowflakes, leaves, humans, plants, raindrops, stars, molecules, microscopic entities all come in communities.

Union with God is not something that needs to be acquired but realized… When the mind comes into its own stillness and enters the silent land, the sense of separation goes.

The world must have a God, but our concept of God must be extended as the dimensions of our world are extended.

A great silent space holds all of nature in its embrace.

Unnamable God, I feel you With me at every moment.

The deep truth about matter, which neither Descartes nor Newton realized, is that, over the course of four billion years, molten rocks transformed themselves into monarch butterflies, blue herons, and the exalted music of Mozart.
