I want to see beauty. In the ugly, in the sink, in the suffering, in the daily, in all the days before I die, the moments before I sleep.

Sometimes you don’t know when you’re taking the first step through a door until you’re already inside.

Practice is the hardest part of learning, and training is the essence of transformation.

Being in a hurry. Getting to the next thing without fully entering the thing in front of me. I cannot think of a single advantage I've ever gained from being in a hurry. But a thousand broken and missed things, tens of thousands, lie in the wake of all the rushing.... Through all that haste I thought I was making up time. It turns out I was throwing it away.

Simplicity is ultimately a matter of focus.

Satan prowls but he’s a lion on a leash.
