The living can't quit living because the world has turned terrible and people they love and need are killed. They can't because they don't. The light that shines into darkness and never goes out calls them on into life. It calls them back again into the great room. It calls them into their bodies and into the world, into whatever the world will require. It calls them into work and pleasure, goodness and beauty, and the company of other loved ones.

Life is like a camera. Focus on what's important. Capture the good times. And if things don't work out, just take another shot.

Our intention is to affirm this life, not to bring order out of chaos, nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we're living, which is so excellent once one gets one's mind and desires out of its way and lets it act of it's own accord.

On a good day this is how we live. This is love. This is what life is. The possibility of finding root, safety and nurturing in a new season.

Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.

We can't help it. Life looks for life.

This life is real too. We're communicating aren't we?

Living is the best and we must live every day as it comes.

O Life,
How oft we throw it off and think, — 'Enough,
Enough of life in so much! — here's a cause
For rupture; — herein we must break with Life,
Or be ourselves unworthy; here we are wronged,
Maimed, spoiled for aspiration: farewell Life!' — And so, as froward babes, we hide our eyes
And think all ended. — Then, Life calls to us
In some transformed, apocryphal, new voice,
Above us, or below us, or around . .
Perhaps we name it Nature's voice, or Love's,
Tricking ourselves, because we are more ashamed
To own our compensations than our griefs:
Still, Life's voice! — still, we make our peace with Life.

Life contracts before it expands, and pulls back before it leaps forward. This balancing act is not something we should resist, but rather, embrace.

Life is available only in the present. That is why we should walk in such a way that every step can bring us to the here and the now.

Life does not ask what we want. It presents us with options

We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet,

To look life in the face, always, to look life in the face, and to know it for what it is...at last, to love it for what it is, and then, to put it away...
