Whatever difficulty you face, there are time-tried ways you can listen your way through. Because listening is the doorway to everything that matters. It enlivens the heart the way breathing enlivens the lungs. We listen to awaken our heart. We do this to stay vital and alive.

Each of us carries some wisdom waiting to be discovered at the center of our experience. Everything we meet, if faced and held, reveals a part of that wisdom.

If we are to access the resources of life, we must listen with our common heart to the cries of the world.

Wakefulness is not a destination but a song the human heart keeps singing, the way birds keep singing at the first sign of light.

The humility of wonder opens everything.

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.

Truth is a seed hidden in the days until watered by what life brings us.
