By our very nature, we are a human paradox. We are a human being. The being is infinite and the human is very finite. We walk around like lightening in a bottle.

The glassblower knows: while in the heat of beginning, any shape is possible. Once hardened, the only way to change is to break.

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

We are broken open, or we willfully shed.

The journey is made easier when we can accept that the process of living is designed for what matters to come through us tenderly.
