Reason has no place in the emotional living of life; instead a knowing arises that erases reason entirely.

When something sad or bad happens, the soul becomes the witness and reason retreats. This is neither good nor bad; it simply happens.

I have been through decades of emotional upheaval and I can tell you that it is important to conserve your strength when times get trying. One way to do this is to slow down the galloping mind.

Become the witness of heartache and thus ease the burden of your soul

Breathing into heartache as you witness it is one way to become more conscious of your soul.

The soul cannot feel jangled and bruised; it can only ask for more light, more light.

Light is always there; it is just that the ego has constricted, not allowing the light to come in.

Darkness may overthrow light temporarily, but the soul will come back to its balance point if allowed.

Our inner work is always the same; rest in the assurance that all is well no matter what you may be going through.

Sorrow is a time for waiting, not forcing. Let your emotions do what they must do.

Behind the dark clouds the light is always waiting for you.

Open the door just a crack and it will come in.
