Walk long enough and we all trade places.

The real challenge is to remember to see clearly when everything's flying around us and we're wrapped up in our [emotional] wounds and traumas.

We can never be prepared for everything. No one person can anticipate all of life. In fact, overpreparation is yet another way to wall ourselves in from life.

The real & lasting practice for each of us is to remove what obstructs us so we can be who we are.

When we are forced to stop the noise around us and in us, we begin to hear everything that is not us, and this is the beginning of humility and the renewal of our soul's energy; as only by listening to all that is larger than us can we discover and feel our place in the Universe.

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

Each soul on earth is complete unto itself.
