We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

We poison, pollute and destroy ourselves, each other, and the Earth because we do not perceive the oneness and preciousness of all of life. We seek to grow and expand, yet we do so only through our limited, physical self sense, largely ignoring the spiritual dimensions of our being. We attempt to fill the gnawing hole within the collective human soul by seeking without, consuming the planet in the process. Yet that deep-down hunger can only be satiated by the one thing that will fill the void — union with our true nature.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
