"Although my way of life and understanding have been thoroughly saturated by Zen, I am still a Westerner, so I have found in the Psalms a very familiar music that seems to express my own approach to enlightenment: the passionate, prickly, and lively noise that naturally seems to rise from the silent depths of my own heart.”

~ Norman Fischer

"Every day we could choose to be intimate rather than distant, bodily rather than mental."

~ Thomas Moore
