I believe in the goodness of imagination.

we need not avoid our active lives, but simply bring to them a new vision and shift of gravity. for in the center we are rooted in god's love. in such a place there is no need for striving and impatience and dashing about seeking approval.

It's something everybody wants-for someone to see the hurt done to them and set it down like it matters.

When compassion wakes up in us, we find ourselves more willing to become vulnerable, to take the risk of entering the pain of others.

All my life I've thought I needed someone to complete me, now I know I need to belong to myself.

I realize what a strange in-between place I am in. The Young Woman inside has turned to go, but the Old Woman has not shown up.

We can't think of changing our skin color. Change the world - that's how we gotta think.
