“Every act of perception, is to some degree an act of creation, and every act of memory is to some degree an act of imagination.”

“Change is freedom, change is life.

"You are something not that comes into the world, but comes out of it—in the same way as a flower comes out of a plant, or a fruit comes out of a tree. You are an expression."

“Character; the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life; is the source from which self-respect springs.”

“Forgiveness is giving up all hope of having had a better past.”

“To love a place is not enough. We must find ways to heal it.”

Each persons life represents a world, a unique way in which the universe perceives itself.

Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.

Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found in us.

You are the sky. Everything else, it’s just the weather.

There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen.
