This is the ongoing purpose of full attention: to find a thousand ways to be pierced into wholeness.

We are all continually asked to learn how to ask for what we need, only to practice accepting what we're given.

Those who truly love us will never knowingly ask us to be other than we are

We tend to make the thing in the way the way.

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.

My own time on earth has led me to believe in two powerful instruments that turn experience into love: holding and listening. For every time I have held or been held, every time I have listened or been listened to, experience burns like wood in that eternal fire, and I find myself in the presence of love. This has always been so.

To love by admitting our connection to everything is how we stay well.
