When wiggling through a hole the world looks different than when scrubbed clean by the wiggle and looking back.

Water reflects everything it encounters. This is so commonplace that we think water is blue, when in fact it has no color.... But the water, the glorious water everywhere, has taught me that we are more than what we reflect or love. This is the work of compassion: to embrace everything clearly without imposing who we are and without losing who we are.

I would want to affirm how rare and magnificent and messy it is to be alive, how there is really nothing between us and life, though so many things get in the way, and how our heart is the strongest muscle and resource we have.

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.

We need to meet, embrace and work with what we're given. For what we want and what we're given often serve two different gods. And how we respond to their meeting determines our path.

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

Have the #‎ life you want by being fully present to the life you have.
