“Our job is to take care of our own inner business, the business of our own mind, our own body, our own relationships, and our own life, according the same freedom and respect to our children as they make the transition from total dependency as small children to independent and interdependent adults.”

“The world asks, as it asks daily:
And what can you make, can you do, to change my deep-broken, fractured?
I count, this first day of another year, what remains.
I have a mountain, a kitchen, two hands.”
― The Asking: New and Selected Poems

“Love and loss are inextricably linked, humbling and transforming, though we would rather have our loved one back. And no matter how much we resist rejoining life, the unseen teachers move through us, rearranging the chasm we are trying to climb out of as we feel ourselves being pulled between the plethora of life and the godforsaken emptiness. Out of unbearable grief, the heart like a phoenix mysteriously emerges in time from its own ash, one heart-giving at a time.”

“And though we have crashed, the harsh beauty of waves is that they always reform, gathering all they’ve been through to rise and crest again. Likewise, we can learn from what we’ve been through. We can expand again and open our minds and hearts. We can find our way back to kindness, if we dare to see each other in ourselves and accept the truth of what we’ve broken. Then, we can see what needs repair.”

“There may not be as much humanity in the world as one would like to see. But there is some. There's more than one would think. In any case, if you break faith with what you know, that's a betrayal of many, many, many, many people. I may know six people, but that's enough. Love has never been a popular movement and no one's ever wanted really to be free. The world is held togther, really it is held together, by the love and the passion of very few people. Otherwise, of course you're in despair. Walk down the street of any city, any afternoon, and look around you. What you've got to remember is what you're looking at is also you. Everyone you're looking at is also you. You could be that person. You could be that person, you could be that cop. And you have to decide in yourself not to be.”
