I learned that life will go through changes - up and down and up again. It's what life does.

We are living in enchanted time. With our spirits right.

Our time here is magic! It's the only space you have to realize whatever it is that is beautiful, whatever is true, whatever is great, whatever is potential, whatever is rare, whatever is unique, in. It's the only space.

Bad things will happen and good things too. Your life will be full of surprises. Miracles happen only where there has been suffering. So taste your grief to the fullest. Don’t try and press it down. Don’t hide from it. Don’t escape. It is life too. It is truth. But it will pass and time will put a strange honey in the bitterness. That’s the way life goes.

A man's greatest battles are the ones he fights within himself.

One of the greatest gifts my father gave me - unintentionally - was witnessing the courage with which he bore adversity.

Who knows, maybe this whole planet is an asylum, a penal realm. A place for hard cases.
