If you're living completely on your own, break out of solitary confinement. Seek to understand others, and help them understand you

Own your failure openly, publicly, with genuine regret but absolutely no shame, and you’ll reap a harvest of forgiveness, trust, respect, and connection-the things you thought you’d get by succeeding. Ironic, isn’t it?

To care for someone can mean to adore them, feed them, tend their wounds. But care can also signify sorrow, as in "bowed down by cares." Or anxiety, as in "Careful!" Or investment in an outcome, as in "Who cares?" The word love has no such range of meaning: It's pure acceptance.

Angels come in many shapes and sizes, and most of them are not invisible.

Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.

If you did nothing but pursue the truth about yourself for the rest of your life, you would never run out of fresh discoveries.

I'd like to help repair the earth's ecosystems, and to fully live until I'm fully dead.
