Most of us encounter a great deal more Mystery than we are willing to experience. Sometimes knowing life requires us to suspend disbelief, to recognize that all our hard-won knowledge may only be provisional and the world may be quite different than we believe it to be. This can be very stressful, even frightening. But if we are not willing to wonder, we may have to hang up the phone on life.

Big messages come in small packages. All it may take to restore someone's trust in life may be returning a lost earring or a dropped glove.

Belief traps or frees us.

When we know ourselves to be connected to all others, acting compassionately is simply the natural thing to do.

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

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

From a good teacher you may learn the secret of listening. You will never learn the secret of life. You will have to listen for yourself
