Listen. Your life is happening. You are happening. Think back on your journey. The music of your life.

Your vocation lies in the intersection of the world's deep need and your deep joy.

Five friends I had and two of them snakes.

The sacred moments, the moments of miracle, are often the everyday moments.

When friends speak overmuch of times gone by, often it's because they sense their present time is turning them from friends to strangers. Long before the moment came to say goodbye, I think, we said goodbye in other words and ways and silences. Then when the moment came for it at last, we didn't say it as should be said by friends. So now at last, dear Mouse, with many, many years between: goodbye.

You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.
