Those who truly love us will never knowingly ask us to be other than we are

When we keep choosing between right and wrong. We spend our energy sorting life rather than living it.

Truth is a seed hidden in the days until watered by what life brings us.

When we don't get what we want, there's a legitimate grieving, and then the spiritual journey truly begins, because not getting what we want breaks our self-reference; and once that is broken, we are aware that we are a part of a larger whole. It changes everything.

As the seed buried in the earth cannot imagine itself as an orchid or hyacinth, neither can a heart packed with hurt imagine itself loved or at peace. The courage of the seed is that once cracking, it cracks all the way.

Essentially, the life of expression is the ongoing journey of how we heal each other... for by telling our stories and listening to the stories of others, we let out who we are and find ourselves in each other, and find that we are more together than alone.

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