The web of life both cradles us and calls us to weave it further.

Walk boldly through your life with an open, broken heart.

We are making choices that will affect whether beings thousands of generations from now will be able to be born sound of mind and body.

Compassion literally means to feel with, to suffer with. Everyone is capable of compassion, and yet everyone tends to avoid it because it's uncomfortable. And the avoidance produces psychic numbing - resistance to experiencing our pain for the world and other beings.

It is good to realize that falling apart is not such a bad thing. Indeed, it is as essential to evolutionary and psychological transformation as the cracking of outgrown shells.

The sorrow, grief, and rage you feel is a measure of your humanity and your evolutionary maturity. As your heart breaks open there will be room for the world to heal.

Grace happens when we act with others on behalf of our world.
