Find your balance and stand with it. Find your song and sing it out. Find your cadence and let it appear like a dance. Find the questions that only you know how to ask and The answers that you are content to not know.

I confessed recently to an old friend, "I realized I was looking at you, in your visit, through old glasses. Speaking old words. Telling old stories. I realize that in my life I've made so many physical changes and I need to give my spirit time to catch up." Time for my spirit to look at my friend through the new glasses of current life experiences. Old friends are precious. They become even more treasured when they are wrapped in the currentness of life experiences and not relegated to the past in which they once lived.

What if we just acted like everything was easy?

Life is defined more by its contrasts than its samenesses; Life is defined more by its risks than the many securities.

In the garden of your days cultivate festivity, play and celebrations.

Plant the seeds of your dreams and weed all the objections out.

It takes discipline and compassion to awaken the divine in ourselves long enough to recognize the divine in another.
