Softening what is rigid in our hearts.

We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us and make us kinder and more open to what scares us. We always have this choice.

Words themselves are neutral. It's the charge we add to them that matters

You are the sky. Everything else - it’s just the weather.

The more neurosis the more wisdom.
