It has always amazed and humbled me to how the risk to bloom can seem so insurmountable beforehand and so inevitably freeing once the threshold of suffering is crossed.

To walk quietly until the miracle in everything speaks is poetry, whether we write it down or not.

Meditation, in all its forms and traditions, is an invitation to listen, to open, to quietly enlist the courage to be touched and formed by life.

No amount of thinking can stop thinking.

Doing small things with love is the atom of bravery.

Part of the blessing and challenge of being human is that we must discover our own true nature.

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.
