The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.

So many times each day we support each other informally without ever becoming 'helper' or 'helped.' Perhaps we're finding an article of clothing for a partner, cutting bread for one of the children, collecting the mail for the person at the next desk, holding the coat for someone at a restaurant.

The dark night of the soul is when you have lost the flavor of life but have not yet gained the fullness of divinity. So it is that we must weather that dark time, the period of transformation when what is familiar has been taken away and the new richness is not yet ours.

Creativity springs from the yearning to be the fullness of who you are.

Suffering brings me so close to God.

Who you think you are will always be frightened of change. But it doesn't make any difference to who you truly are.

Suffering brings your heart to bear. It gets you where you are!
