Forgiveness is the act of admitting we are like other people.

Our desires teach us who we are and who we want to become. Our desires shape our stories.

Intuition always has our best interest at heart.

Meaning drives us from despair to wonder, from confusion to clarity, from hesitance to confidence. And the only place to find meaning is in the importance of small things.

With compassion, we see benevolently our own human condition and the condition of our fellow beings. We drop prejudice. We withhold judgment.

Despair is our chance to wrestle with fire and come through.

History is what scholars and conquerors say happened; story is what it was like to live on the ground.
