What we love and what captures our curiosity draws us forward into some place of great destiny.

Our lives are made of these moments. Simple words and actions, taken together, weave a single day, and our days become our life. Every gesture is a seed, and the seed determines the harvest.

We become what we love. Whatever you are giving your time and attention to, day after day, is the kind of person you will eventually become.

A kind life...is fundamentally a life of courage.

For thousands of years we have gathered in circle--around fires, around bodies, around altars--because we can't do this alone.

Every day, we are given countless opportunities to offer our gifts to those at work, in our families, our relationships.... If you give less than what you are, you dishonor the gift of your own precious life.

If we do not allow for a rhythm of rest in our overly busy lives, illness becomes our Sabbath— our pneumonia, our cancer, our heart attack, our accidents create Sabbath for us.
