What is not ex-pressed is de-pressed.

When we are forced to stop the noise around us and in us, we begin to hear everything that is not us, and this is the beginning of humility and the renewal of our soul's energy; as only by listening to all that is larger than us can we discover and feel our place in the Universe.

If we devote ourselves to the life at hand, the rest will follow. For life, it seems, reveals itself through those willing to live. Anything else, no matter how beautiful, is just advertising.

To distance ourselves from our experience makes our feelings a liability, while staying in conversation with our experience makes our feelings a resource.

We need to give up what no longer works and find new ways of being that keeps us close to what matters.

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

Intuitive listening requires us to still our minds until the beauty of things older than our minds can find us.
