We tend to make the thing in the way the way.

The fully engaged heart is the antibody for the infection of violence.

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

We need to give up what no longer works and find new ways of being that keeps us close to what matters.

We're quietly aching for something to celebrate

It is the courage to be authentic that keeps us strong enough to withstand the heartbreak through which enlightenment can occur. And it is by honoring how life comes through us that we get the most out of living, not by keeping ourselves out of the way. The goal is to mix our hands in the earth, not to stay clean.

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