Now, if you ask me, what’s going on is that we’re all up to here in it, and probably the most important thing is that we not yell at one another.

I can tell you that what you're looking for is already inside you.

We begin to find and become ourselves when we notice how we are already found, already truly, entirely, wildly, messily, marvelously who we were born to be.

My mind is a neighborhood I try not to go into alone.

Most marriages are a mess, and the children get caught between two bitter, antagonistic parents. My parents stayed married for 27 unhappy years, till their kids were grown, and this was a catastrophe for us.

After a while the middle-aged person who lives in her head begins to talk to her soul, the kid.

My understanding is that you get to choose which of your thoughts to go with.
