When we heal ourselves, we heal the world.

Intuitive listening requires us to still our minds until the beauty of things older than our minds can find us.

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

When the sweet ache of being alive, lodged between who you are and who you will be, is awakened, befriend this moment. It will guide you. Its sweetness is what holds you. Its ache is what moves you on.

Whether you find it through mediation or sighing over tea or just turning all your devices off for five minutes, listening is an ancient lifeline by which we are awakened time and again. Once reawakened, we more easily find our way to each other, and so help each other live.

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.

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