When we are adding to those around us, the world, ourselves, it feels good and right on levels we cannot even consciously connect with.

One of my favorite things is watching my children learn something new. The combination of innocence and excitement makes a parent feel truly alive, even if only for a second and peripherally.

Be content where you are! The sooner I let go of the notion that something could only be one way, the way I had planned it, without fail, I have always gotten more done and with far less discomfort.

Try to understand long before you move to judgment.

We are all more similar than we usually realize. So much of the suffering we do in our life is because of obsession with self.

I do not know everything, I never will, and that is OK.

Becoming a father has definitely heightened my discomfort with uncertainty. I want to be able to say, I know what will happen, when, why. But most of the time, we just don't know.
