Let the miracles, even the ones we don't want or see, unfold.

Our job is not to expose the mystery but to participate in it.

Like roots finding water, we always wind up moving towards what sustains us.

The many ways to listen have been reaching into me for years. To enter deep listening, I've had to learn how to keep emptying and opening, how to keep beginning. I've had to lean into all I don't understand, accepting that I am changed by what I hear.

The humility of wonder opens everything.

In truth, the more we lean into life, the more we authentically interact with the world, the brighter our flame.

Four hundred year old trees, who draw aliveness from the earth like smoke from the heart of God, we come, not knowing you will hush our little want to be big; we come, not knowing that all the work is so much busyness of mind; all the worry, so much busyness of heart. As the sun warms anything near, being warms everything still and the great still things that outlast us make us crack like leaves of laurel releasing a fragrance that has always been.
