Heartbreak is how we mature... There is almost no path a human being can follow that does not lead to heartbreak.

Whether we stay or whether we go - to be courageous is to stay close to the way we are made.

Honesty is reached through the doorway of grief and loss.

A good poem looks life straight in the face, unflinching, sincere, equal to revelation through loss or gain.

You must learn one thing. The world was made to be free in. Give up all the other worlds Except the one in which you belong.

We withdraw not to disappear, but to find another ground from which to see; a solid ground from which to step, and from which to speak again, in a different way, a clear, rested, embodied voice we begin to remember again as our own.

To be human is to become visible while carrying what is hidden as a gift to others.
