Walk long enough and we all trade places.

When we keep choosing between right and wrong. We spend our energy sorting life rather than living it.

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.

The glassblower knows: while in the heat of beginning, any shape is possible. Once hardened, the only way to change is to break.

I would want to affirm how rare and magnificent and messy it is to be alive, how there is really nothing between us and life, though so many things get in the way, and how our heart is the strongest muscle and resource we have.

We are born with only one obligation - to be completely who we are.

To listen is to lean in, softly, with a willingness to be changed by what we hear.
