“Loneliness is caused by an alienation from life. It is a loneliness from your real self.”
Blessings (1998)
Context: When I listen to love, I am listening to my true nature. When I express love, I am expressing my true nature. All of us love. All of us do it more and more perfectly. The past has brought us both ashes and diamonds. In the present we find the flowers of what we've planted and the seeds of what we are becoming. I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.
“I want to plant a few more seeds here and there before they plant me.”
“The seed must grow regardless
Of the fact that it’s planted in stone”

“The Spiral Dance is a seed planted twenty years ago.”
Bodhi Tree lecture (1999)
Context: The Spiral Dance is a seed planted twenty years ago. Over the last two decades, the goddess movement has grown from many seeds like a garden of long-life flowers and healing herbs. It's a big garden — I've tended only one corner of it.
“Plant lots and lots of seeds and hopefully one will grow!”

“But veracity is a plant of paradise, and the seeds have never flourished beyond the walls.”
