Tragedy stays alive by feeling what's been done to us, while peace comes alive by living with the results.

To journey without being changed, is to be a nomad. To change without journeying is to be a chameleon. To journey and to be transformed by the journeying is to be a pilgrim.

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

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

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

Light is in both the broken bottle and the diamond.

In the same way that we have to clean wax from our ears and dirt from our eyes, we're all asked to clean out our conclusions and judgments, which block our heart from meeting the world.
