Repetition is not failure. Ask the waves, ask the leaves, ask the wind.

When we deny what comes through us, it defines us. When we honestly face what comes through us, then who we are grows.

The sun doesn't stop shining because some people are blind.

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.

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