Water reflects everything it encounters. This is so commonplace that we think water is blue, when in fact it has no color.... But the water, the glorious water everywhere, has taught me that we are more than what we reflect or love. This is the work of compassion: to embrace everything clearly without imposing who we are and without losing who we are.

The world needs awakened souls the way a body needs healthy cells.

In truth, the more we lean into life, the more we authentically interact with the world, the brighter our flame.

Meditation, in all its forms and traditions, is an invitation to listen, to open, to quietly enlist the courage to be touched and formed by life.

When wiggling through a hole the world looks different than when scrubbed clean by the wiggle and looking back.

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.

There is no getting around the fundamental fact that we need to interact with everything in order to manifest the wholeness we are born with.
