Keeping a commitment to listening has led me to my own growth, beyond any imagined dreams I may have had throughout the years.

The practice of listening is one of the most mysterious, luminous, and challenging art forms on Earth.

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

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

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.

To be broken is no reason to see all things as broken.

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.
