“Letting ourselves be forgiven is one of the most difficult healings we will undertake. And one of the most fruitful. (79)”

“[D]on’t cling to your self-righteous suffering, let it go…. Nothing is too good to be true, let yourself be forgiven. To the degree you insist that you must suffer, you insist on the suffering of others as well. (90)”

“Simply touching a difficult memory with some slight willingness to heal begins to soften the holding and tension around it. (74)”

“If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make who would you call and what would you say?
And why are you waiting?”

“If there is a single definition of healing it is to enter with mercy and awareness those pains, mental and physical, from which we have withdrawn in judgment and dismay. (48)”

“When your fear touches someone’s pain, it becomes pity, when your love touches someone’s pain, it become compassion.”

“How soon will we accept this opportunity to be fully alive before we die? (88)”
