"Compassion leads to freedom of discovering your voice, your gifts, and your purpose."
"If there is a time of judgment, instead of theological or institutional litmus tests, the only question asked about our life and spirituality will be "Did you love with abandonment?""
"Secure in whom we are, rooted in one particular tradition or none at all, we have no reason to fear discovering God in the truth and wisdom of many traditions. Love casts out fear inviting us into happiness for all people and Creation."
"Courage to be who you are is the cousin of loving the Divine, yourself and others."
