As nature erodes the earth into magnificent forms, life through endless experience opens us further and further to the essence of what matters. Each time I've been opened further, the way I experience life and receive things has changed.

Accepting what we're given is a practice in being present to everything beyond us that lets us become intimate with the nature of life.

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

If I dare to hear you I will feel you like the sun And grow in your direction.

Joy in what we do is not an added feature; it is a sign of deep health.

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

There are many ways that we grow, but there are two major ways: We shed what no longer works, or we're broken open. If we're unwilling to shed, then we will be broken open. Through shedding, we are worn down, just as nature is eroded to its beauty. I think that through suffering, human beings are eroded to our beauty.
