Every human has an unfathomable gift that only meeting life head on will reveal.

Before we can count we are taught to be grateful for what others do. As we are broken open by our experience, we begin to be grateful for what is, and if we live long enough and deep enough and authentically enough, gratitude becomes a way of life.

We are love. But in an everyday setting we have to make choices. We have limits. We can love everyone and we can't love everyone.

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

Perhaps the noblest private act is the unheralded effort to ... open our hearts once they've closed, to open our souls once they've shied away.

My friends are the beings through whom God loves me.
