Everything in life opens and closes, sheds and renews. We are no different. Listening in its endless forms is the way we stay open, the way we stay in relationship, the way we refresh who we are and what we're doing here.

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.

Rather than finding heaven on earth, we are asked to release heaven by living on earth.

Each of us carries some wisdom waiting to be discovered at the center of our experience. Everything we meet, if faced and held, reveals a part of that wisdom.

The simplest and bravest way to counter the plight of disheartenment is to move toward what is precious.

We tend to make the thing in the way the way.

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