The mystery is that whoever shows up when we dare to give has exactly what we need hidden in their trouble.

We need experience to release what matters.

We think that accomplishing things will complete us, when it is experiencing life that will.

We need to meet, embrace and work with what we're given. For what we want and what we're given often serve two different gods. And how we respond to their meeting determines our path.

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

The key to knowing joy is being easily pleased.
