Without an understanding of myth or religion, without an understanding of the relationship between destruction and creation, death and rebirth, the individual suffers the mysteries of life as meaningless mayhem alone.

Consciousness will not always solve the problem, but it may make the suffering meaningful.

Most of us are dragged toward wholeness.

What analysis is all about is for one hour a week, you sit and hope that for a flash of a moment you will experience connectedness.

It takes great courage to break with one's past history and stand alone.

Storytelling is at the heart of life... In finding our own story, we assemble all the parts of ourselves. Whatever kind of mess we have made of it, we can somehow see the totality of who we are and recognize how our blunderings are related. We can own what we did and value who we are, not because of the outcome but because of the soul story that propelled us.

Often the wisdom of the body Clarifies the despair of the spirit.
