She talked to her plants!”

“Until we don't treat people, animals and environment with respect we have no chance for peace. We are saying that we want to have peace. But is that so? We value people according to their class, either is low, middle or high and above them all. Where one deserves all our respect (and jealousy) and the other zero.

Hence, you learn to prepare the meal in a way it serves you...it can either be healthy or not!”

That’s why the pain, emptiness, and longing you feel can be your greatest gift—it can motivate you to examine parts of yourself that have been overlooked, forgotten, or hidden. It’s the irritant of sand in the oyster, which is the impetus for the pearl. In walking the conscious life path, you reveal your deepest Reality, layer by layer. You come home.”
