Book cover for Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life
“WHEN YOU’VE GOT AN ANSWER, IT’S TIME TO FIND better questions.”

“Our yearning to give generously and receive gracefully is at the heart of our quest for intimacy.”
Linda Loewenthal, Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life

Laura Vanderkam
“Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: “I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.” If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently.”

As a yell able to outyell itself.
Happy as no matter what,
as any no matter what.

Happy
as a dog’s tail.”
Anna Świrszczyńska

“Our most loving relationships are those in which we say “sorry” continuously. Forgiveness is central to the workings of love. If we’re not seeking and receiving, being asked for and granting forgiveness on a regular basis, it’s most likely that our relationship is not as intimate, dynamic, or alive as we think it is. And”

“If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you wont give up. If you give up, you're not worthy. ... Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”
