Before every session, I take a moment to remember my humanity. There is no experience that this man has that I cannot share with him, no fear that I cannot understand, no suffering that I cannot care about, because I too am human. No matter how deep his wound, he does not need to be ashamed in front of me. I too am vulnerable. And because of this, I am enough. Whatever his story, he no longer needs to be alone with it. This is what will allow his healing to begin. (Carl Rogers)

An unanswered question is a fine traveling companion. It sharpens your eye for the road.

The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen.

All natural processes are long processes and they last.

When people are blessed they discover that their lives matter, that there is something in them worthy of blessing.
