No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

The fundamental desire of life is the desire to exist.

We live in the world when we love it.

Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield,But to my own strength. Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved,But for the patience to win my freedom.

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
