If we’re going to live peacefully with each other and with our God-given Earth, many of us are going to have to let some things fall away.

We could take a lesson from the rich young man who couldn’t bring himself to let go of his possessions to follow Jesus.

We’ll never get to a flourishing world without each of us beginning to live with more intention and attention.

It must be God’s great sense of humor that we sometimes have to slow down to discover that we mustn’t waste a moment of time.

Opening ourselves to this fierce love through prayer, and then acting out of it—personally and in our public policies—is the only pathway to peace.

Living a deep, intentional, fully present, values-aligned life is also one of the most pleasurable and satisfying things you can do in the face of your mortality.
