There is no getting around the fundamental fact that we need to interact with everything in order to manifest the wholeness we are born with.

Everything in life opens and closes, sheds and renews. We are no different. Listening in its endless forms is the way we stay open, the way we stay in relationship, the way we refresh who we are and what we're doing here.

There is no getting around the fundamental fact that we need to interact with everything in order to manifest the wholeness we are born with.

Just opening quietly for moments everyday can create a path by which life can reach us, the way rain carves a little stream in the earth by which the smallest flowers are watered.

…there are no wrong turns, only unexpected paths.

The many ways to listen have been reaching into me for years. To enter deep listening, I've had to learn how to keep emptying and opening, how to keep beginning. I've had to lean into all I don't understand, accepting that I am changed by what I hear.

If I dare to hear you I will feel you like the sun And grow in your direction.
