All the buried seeds crack open in the dark the instant they surrender to a process they can't see.

The humility of wonder opens everything.

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.

If we are to access the resources of life, we must listen with our common heart to the cries of the world.

Anything or anyone that asks you to be other than yourself is not holy, but is trying only to fill its own need.

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.

Let the miracles, even the ones we don't want or see, unfold.
