We find a path by carving it out of the conditions of our lives.  Though we hope that religious practices and spiritual teachings will draw us out of sorrow and into an eternally steady and calm state, attention to the body anchors us in the actuality of present experience whether painful, lonely, sad, or joyful.  Over time, these teachings and practices bring about a less reactive and more creative way of being in the world, though they cannot remove the inevitable pain and difficulty that comes with being an engaged human citizen.  -Michale Stone

Accepting our kinship with all life on earth is not only solid science…it is also a soaring spiritual experience.  -N.D. Tyson

We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.  -Carl Sagan
