The broken door lets in the light. The broken heart lets in the world.

Part of the blessing and challenge of being human is that we must discover our own true nature.

One of the most challenging ways is to slow down enough to relax our heart and feel what is nearest. It could be the sun reflecting off of broken glass in an alley. It could be the shine on a crow. It could be snow on a lamp post.

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

Doing small things with love is the atom of bravery.

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

Light is in both the broken bottle and the diamond.
