Our limitations serve, our wounds serve, even our darkness can serve.

Perhaps wisdom is simply a matter of waiting, and healing a question of time. And anything good you've ever been given is yours forever.

When you listen generously to people they can hear the truth in themselves, often for the first time.

Those who wish to change things may face disappointment, loss, or even ridicule. If you are ahead of your time, people laugh as often as they applaud, and being there first is usually lonely. But our protection cannot come between us and our purpose. Right protection is something within us rather than something between us and the world, more about finding a place of refuge and strength than finding a hiding place.

We may need to let go of our beliefs and ideas about life in order to have life.

Our listening creates a sanctuary for the homeless parts within another person.

Our wounds are our sources of growth.
