the health of the planet is affected by the health of every individual on it !

But never again use another person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilling yearnings.

You have to work ceaselessly on your end to digest and imbibe your opportunities or, I have come to believe, they will gradually slip away and knock on someone else's more receptive door.

When you have only two minutes to say good-bye to the person you love most in the world, and you don’t know when you’ll see each other again, you can become logjammed with the effort to say and do and settle everything at once.

So miss him. Send him some love and light every time you think about him, then drop it.

Here's the thing: the unit of reverence in Europe is the family, which is why a child born today of unmarried parents in Sweden has a better chance of growing up in a house with both of his parents than a child born to a married couple in America. Here we revere the couple, there they revere the family.

This is intimacy: the trading of stories in the dark.
