In the way that I experience life, the physical world is really just the tip of the iceberg of reality. Whether it's trees or stones or water or animals or stars, everything has an ineffable interior quality.

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

To walk quietly until the miracle in everything speaks is poetry, whether we write it down or not.

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

If we devote ourselves to the life at hand, the rest will follow. For life, it seems, reveals itself through those willing to live. Anything else, no matter how beautiful, is just advertising.

Meditation, in all its forms and traditions, is an invitation to listen, to open, to quietly enlist the courage to be touched and formed by life.

Every human has an unfathomable gift that only meeting life head on will reveal.
