To accept some degree of meaninglessness is our final and full act of faith that God is still good and still in control.

Isn’t it a consolation to know that life is not a straight line?

Imagine how different Western history and religion could have been if we had walked so tenderly and lovingly upon the earth, as Francis and Jesus did.

Great religion seeks utter awareness and full consciousness, so that we can, in fact, receive all. Everything belongs and everything can be received.

The divisions, dichotomies, and dualisms of the world can only be overcome by a unitive consciousness at every level.

We must learn to start every single encounter with a foundational yes, before we ever dare to move to no.
