“Lots of things affect us, so don’t feel bad about the choices you make at the time with the information you had. Think about why you made that choice and if it was a bad choice don’t let those things affect you again in the future.”

“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It’s one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it’s another to think that yours is the only path.”

“We are not separate. Our sense of separateness is superficial and exists only in the physical dimension. In our human element, we are not separate; we’re very much connected. Every other human being is just as precious as we are, and worthy of as much respect and love and consideration. This understanding needs to manifest in our conduct in each moment. This is the part of the Work that will transform you.”

Listen: become a good listener.
Listen. Become a good listener. Listen until your ears bleed. Put everything aside, every little thought about your self-involved day & listen, truly listen. Listen with a calm you’d think Buddha would envy. Listen, listen, listen or someone may get hurt because you didn’t listen. You never listened. Listen. Listen, please. Listen to the small things as well as the big things. Make silence your friend, your comrade-in-arms against the darknesses of someone else’s thoughts. Listen to the people you’ve known for years. Listen to the garbage man. Listen to anyone who wants you to listen because listening is something that somehow goes against the grain of human egos. Listen because you, too, want to be heard. Listen with all your heart & little universes within you. Listen because you gain a little bit of someone else’s story— someone else’s highlighted page, their dying demons because you listened. You shouldered them through that experience by listening. Make listening a fad. Think of that world! So much calming quiet that birds wouldn’t know what to do but fill that solemnity with a song of silence because nothing is greater than the potential of someone else to speak aloud. Listen like you’ve never heard something as sweet as that person’s voice. Listen like their life depended on it. Listen to their beautiful, amazing, delicate soul spill into the space of the air between their mouth & your ear to be absorbed into your synapses & eventually flooded throughout your body as an armada of joy, of blessings untold. Please listen. You never know how you may help someone just by hearing about their day.
