It's never been true, not anywhere at anytime, that the value of a soul, of a human spirit, is dependent on a number on a scale.

All any feeling wants is to be welcomed with tenderness. It wants room to unfold. It wants to relax and tell its story. It wants to dissolve like a thousand writhing snakes that with a flick of kindness become harmless strands of rope.

Real change happens bit by bit. It takes great effort to become effortless at anything. There are no quick fixes.

Its not so much that we believe what we see, but that we see what we believe

Healing is about being awake. Being broken and whole at the same time.

Awareness is learning to keep yourself company. And then learn to be more compassionate company, as if you were somebody you are fond of and wish to encourage.

There's a basic feeling of lack that we want to distract ourselves from. We want to fix it by looking outside ourselves, as if it is going to fill us up.
