We are love. But in an everyday setting we have to make choices. We have limits. We can love everyone and we can't love everyone.

Those who truly love us will never knowingly ask us to be other than we are

Whatever difficulty you face, there are time-tried ways you can listen your way through. Because listening is the doorway to everything that matters. It enlivens the heart the way breathing enlivens the lungs. We listen to awaken our heart. We do this to stay vital and alive.

Anything or anyone that asks you to be other than yourself is not holy, but is trying only to fill its own need.

The journey is made easier when we can accept that the process of living is designed for what matters to come through us tenderly.

The glassblower knows: while in the heat of beginning, any shape is possible. Once hardened, the only way to change is to break.

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