Illiness could be considered a Western form of meditation.

Cancer changes your whole life.

It is not that we have a soul, but that we are a soul.

If you carry someone else's fears and live by someone else's values, you may find that you have lived their lives.

The spiritual is inclusive. It is the deepest sense of belonging and participation.We all participate in the spiritual at all times, whether we know it or not.

Life offers its wisdom generously. Everything teaches. Not everyone learns. Life asks of us the same thing we have been asked in every class: "Stay awake." "Pay attention." But paying attention is no simple matter. It requires us not to be distracted by expectations, past experiences, labels, and masks. It asks that we not jump to early conclusions and that we remain open to surprise.

Our wounds are our sources of growth.
