We do not create our destiny; we participate in its unfolding. Synchronicity works as a catalyst toward the working out of that destiny.

We do not live on the Earth, we are a part of how the Earth lives.

A wound does not destroy us. It activates our self-healing powers. The point is not to "put it behind you" but to keep benefiting from the strength it has awakened.
