The telling of your stories is a revolutionary act.

To really love a person completely is to come to a point where your stories are intertwined.

We can only choose whether we will feel and not what we will feel.

Soul grows in communion. Word by word, story by story, for better or worse, we build our world. From true conversation - speaking and listening - communication deepens into compassion and creates community.

What happens if I try to build a life dedicated to avoiding all danger and all unnecessary risk?

I try to steer away from high metaphysical belief because I think we humans do best when we realize that we don't know all that much.

The abyss beyond our beliefs is something we have to pass through in order to see the world anew, to see it in terms not dictated so much by our culture, our parents, or our religious convictions.
