"The healthy soul, whether a man's, a woman's, or a culture's, is equally male and female, as Jung insisted: the Yin and the Yang; the animus and the anima; the male and the female; the sun and the moon – these elements of our psyches are meant to work together within each of us, not at odds."

"God is intimately in mountains and the sea, sunshine and the human personality, sexual activity and music, painting and good food. To know these things is to know their omnipresent Creator. The Giver is present in his gifts in an extraordinary way, an intimate way."

"God has shared the divinity with the littlest among us. That is spiritual democracy. And to internalize it (make it our own), to reflect on it, and to live with it, learning to breathe the truth of it – this will make new people of us. A people truly rooted in the spiritual attitude of sharing. Of democracy. Of becoming like God. Of appreciating the We."
