“Remind me, when I hesitate to follow my excitement, that magic reveals itself in unstructured movement and communication. To hold back is to forbid the dawning to occur. Tolerate my meanderings. Grant me my verbosities and explorations. Help me permit myself to know the joy in chasing amazement without over-cautiousness.”

“If we can dare to believe that we are spirits in human form, maybe it will be possible to think, say, and act with more purpose and care about the impact we’re having.”

“There is a mistaken notion that voice empowerment means one should speak every thought and complaint that blips across the mind, publicly and intimately. This book is not one of personal empowerment, rather it supports relational empowerment: the healing that comes from saying what heals and helps, thoughtfully and directed toward the source most likely to be able to witness the contents of the heart. Relational empowerment in this application focuses on building. Personal empowerment may or may not build; it can be destructive, mean, retaliating, mired in a loop of right and wrong, withholding, punishing, victimizing, and even abusive. Prayer has the potential to open up channels with the “Divine Source of Life as You Understand It” to begin a dialogue, which will hopefully lead to many fulfilling dialogues in your relationships.”

“While they were in the hospital, the Egg Moon had slipped away, and the new Mother's Moon had arrived. After that, in June, would come the Rose Moon, what Ada McIntyre called the Strawberry Moon because strawberries, wild and domestic, ripened. After the strawberries came the mulberries and blackcap raspberries, then the blackberries, the blueberries, and finally, the cranberries.”
