Whether you find it through mediation or sighing over tea or just turning all your devices off for five minutes, listening is an ancient lifeline by which we are awakened time and again. Once reawakened, we more easily find our way to each other, and so help each other live.

The extraordinary is waiting quietly beneath the skin of all that is ordinary.

We are broken open, or we willfully shed.

We need experience to release what matters.

Keeping a commitment to listening has led me to my own growth, beyond any imagined dreams I may have had throughout the years.

The resource of life is everywhere, even in the smallest of things and we're never very far from it.

The broken door lets in the light. The broken heart lets in the world.
