We are so busy that the truth about our lives can't catch up.

Vulnerability is not about fear and grief and disappointment; it is the birthplace of everything we're hungry for.

There is no joy without gratitude.

What makes something better is connection.

Knowledge is only rumor until it lives in the bones.

A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.

At the end of my life I want to be able to say I contributed more than I criticized.
