Love and trust, in the space between what’s said and what’s heard in our life, can make all the difference in the world.

Little by little we human beings are confronted with situations that give us more and more clues that we are not perfect.

There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.

Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning...They have to play with what they know to be true in order to find out more, and then they can use what they learn in new forms of play.

The older I get, the more convinced I am that the space between people who are trying their best to understand each other is hallowed ground.

When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." To this day, especially in times of "disaster," I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.

I feel that the real drama of life is never center stage, it's always in the wings. It's never with the spotlight on, it's usually something that you don't expect at all.
