Joy in what we do is not an added feature; it is a sign of deep health.

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.

Keeping a commitment to listening has led me to my own growth, beyond any imagined dreams I may have had throughout the years.

Whether you find it through mediation or sighing over tea or just turning all your devices off for five minutes, listening is an ancient lifeline by which we are awakened time and again. Once reawakened, we more easily find our way to each other, and so help each other live.

We are broken open, or we willfully shed.

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

What we reach for may be different, but what makes us reach is the same.
