…there are no wrong turns, only unexpected paths.

In a world that lives like a fist mercy is not more than waking with your hands open.

I was a very driven person, wanting to help and to do good, hopefully to write and teach in a meaningful way - wanting to make change. And I discovered humbly that life was changing me.

In truth, the more we lean into life, the more we authentically interact with the world, the brighter our flame.

Doing small things with love is the atom of bravery.

To walk quietly until the miracle in everything speaks is poetry, whether we write it down or not.

In life as in water, when we curl up or flail we sink. When we spread and go still, we are carried by the largest sea of all: the sea of grace that flows steadily beneath the turmoil of events. And just as fish can't see the ocean they live in, we can't quite see the spirit that sustains us.
