Even when clouds grow thick, the sun still pours its light earthward.

We are born with only one obligation - to be completely who we are.

When we heal ourselves, we heal the world.

If you truly hold a stone, you can feel the mountain it came from.

…there are no wrong turns, only unexpected paths.

The further I wake into this life, the more I realize that God is everywhere and the extraordinary is waiting quietly beneath the skin of all that is ordinary. Light is in both the broken bottle and the diamond, and music is in both the flowing violin and the water dripping from the drainage pipe. Yes, God is under the porch as well as on top of the mountain, and joy is in both the front row and the bleachers, if we are willing to be where we are.

Try as we do to resist what we're given, this is the only doorway to truth. We waste too much time and energy denying or fighting where we find ourselves.
