True love is not for the faint-hearted. ~ Jack Kornfield

Wisdom says we are nothing. Love says we are everything. Between these two our life flows. ~ Jack Kornfield

When the stories of our life no longer bind us, we discover within them something greater. We discover that within the very limitations of form, of our maleness and femaleness, of our parenthood and our childhood, of gravity on the earth and the changing of the seasons, is the freedom and harmony we have sought for so long. Our individual life is an expression of the whole mystery, and in it we can rest in the center of the movement, the center of all worlds. ~ Jack Kornfield

The knowledge of the past stays with us. To let go is to release the images and emotions, the grudges and fears, the clingings and disappointments of the past that bind our spirit. ~ Jack Kornfield
