24 Quotes by John Welwood

Becoming human means discovering our fullness and learning to live from it.

We may tell ourselves that love is not really available. but the deeper truth is that we don’t entirely trust it, and therefore have a hard time fully opening to it or letting it all the way into us. This disconnects us from our own heart, exacerbating our sense of love’s scarcity.

Love is the recognition of beauty.

Forget about enlightenment. Sit down wherever you are. And listen to the wind singing in your veins.

The light of unconditional love awakens the dormant seed potentials of the soul.

Boundless love always manages somehow to sparkle through your limited form.

The words “I love you,” spoken in moments of genuine appreciation, wonder, or caring arise from something perfectly pure within us – the capacity to open ourselves and say yes without reserve. Such moments of pure openheartedness bring us as close to natural perfection as we can come in this life.

The warm and radiant yes of the heart is perfect, like the sun, in bringing all things to life and nourishing all that is truly human.

We already have so much abundance. We truly do. We need not search too far. It is within. The reason we fail to recognize this is because we haven’t quite mastered the art of being. For abundance to prevail, we must have LOVE, gratitude, acceptance and compassion.
