I had over twenty years ago damaged the cilia in my ears. This has taught me many things. One thing I learned, paradoxically, is that there is much to be heard in silence.

A love astounds us or a pain consumes us and we forget that we glow on our own.

The mystery is that whoever shows up when we dare to give has exactly what we need hidden in their trouble.

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.

Doing small things with love is the atom of bravery.

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

Live loud enough in your heart and there is no need to speak.
