A successful creative expression is one in which the person who has expressed it was transformed for having encountered it

I had over twenty years ago damaged the cilia in my ears. This has taught me many things. One thing I learned, paradoxically, is that there is much to be heard in silence.

Intuitive listening requires us to still our minds until the beauty of things older than our minds can find us.

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.

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

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

We need to give up what no longer works and find new ways of being that keeps us close to what matters.
