• For many people, the first indication of a spiritual awakening is that they suddenly become aware of their thoughts. They become a witness to their thoughts, so to speak.

• My experience with life is that it's very fragmented. In one place certain kinds of thing occur, and in another place a different kind of thing occurs.

• Believe in miracles. I have seen so many of them come when every other indication would say that hope was lost. Hope is never lost.
