“To awaken Soul Force is to see that the sorrows of the world and the sorrows within us are not separate, that they belong together, and we can not keep out of any part of life.” – Jack Kornfield
“We have a responsibility to bear witness and find our own heart’s unique response. When we discover that capacity in ourself, then where we go and what we do doesn’t matter so much, because it’s our being that brings the blessing.” – Jack Kornfield
