If we can genuinely honor our mother and father we are not only at peace with ourselves but we can then give birth to our future.

When a child comes in, I believe that it's a 'multipersonhood,' and it knows it, its consciousness knows it, and it has a nuclei in the center of its consciousness that is the repository of all experience and all knowledge.

I make my mistakes in public.
