I think that people get experiences, and out of those experiences come meaning and ideas. It's like watching a rose bush grow.

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.

Goose bumps happen when your soul is close to you, breathing lightly on the back of your neck, and wakes you up.

If we fear loss enough, in the end the things we possess will come to possess us.

My sense is that you can never teach anybody anything, or change anybody in ways that they don't already have in mind.

Most of us lead far more meaningful lives than we know. Often finding meaning is not about doing things differently; it is about seeing familiar things in new ways. When we find new eyes, the unsuspected blessing in work we have done for many years may take us completely by surprise. We can see life in many ways: with the eye, with the mind, with the intuition. But perhaps it is only those who speak the language of meaning, who have remembered how to see with the heart, that life is ever deeply known or served.
