38 Quotes by Wayne Muller

Gratitude invites a sense of sufficiency.

When we come close to those things that break us down, we touch those things that also break us open. And in that breaking open, we uncover our true nature.

The heart of most spiritual practices is simply this: Remember who you are. Remember what you love. Remember what is sacred. Remember what is true. Remember that you will die and that this day is a gift. Remember how you wish to live.

The last place we tend to look for healing is within ourselves.

Even when our intentions are noble and our efforts sincere, even when we dedicate our lives to the service of others, the corrosive pressure of frantic over-activity can nonetheless cause suffering in ourselves and others. A “successful” life can become a violent enterprise.

We become what we love. Whatever you are giving your time and attention to, day after day, is the kind of person you will eventually become.

In the soil of the quick fix is the seed of a new problem, because our quiet wisdom is unavailable.

Your life is not a problem to be solved but a gift to be opened.

Because we do not rest, we lose our way.
