Our purpose in life is to grow in wisdom and in love.

Cancer changes your whole life.

Being safe is about being seen and heard and allowed to be who you are and to speak your truth.

Being alive is being aware, being able to be touched and moved and changed, being able to respond rather than to react, being able to see and hear.

I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues, until I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them down, to take them out of their experience of sadness and grief. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.

I think ideas only lead to change for intellectual people; and not even them. What really leads to change is experience. Life itself is the teacher.
