The assumption that the egoless condition, or union of self and God, is man's final goal and ultimate destiny is a great mistake.

In short, the unitive state is the hidden path to no-self.

I have never found a problem with people from different religions
praying together. What I have found is that people are just hungry
for God, and be they Christian or Muslim we invite them to pray with
us. There is a large percentage of Muslims in our mission houses in
Spain and France and they want to pray. So that is our main focus,
to encourage them to pray, to have a relationship with God, however
that may be, because when you have that then everything else will
follow.

We can watch the drama as it comes and goes, maybe making a genuine wise crack, or just laughing at our own antics.

The shaman knows that beauty is about opening doors to joy, snagging the moment, and fitting into your own life. She knows beauty is not something to buy. It is a path, a way of living and being in the world. The only path and the only way, if you want to keep dancing and singing.

When you want something, something so true and pure, something that deep in your heart you know it's worth risking, then one must follow that path.

When you want something, go get it. Period.

If life is a path, we are barefoot and we each scatter before us the contents of two bags hanging from our shoulders.  From the first bag -- sharp nails of worry, fear, regret and doubt, or from the second bag -- rose petals of hope, joy, friendship and confidence.  If life is a path...we are the masters of that path.

In the end, we will see:  The path we travel is the treasure we seek.

I’m arguably the least real of all my characters, a state of affairs for which I make no apologies, being, indeed, altogether proud of the fact. I am, as it were, the created creating--a paradox, for all its rhetorical trappings, at the beating heart of our shared human journey, and one I invite you to struggle with just as I have while, day in and day out, word by word and line by line, constructing a fictitious autobiography for myself in these pages.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

"It is a path one that is chosen"
