     You are always yourself, moment to moment, 
     in nonstop flow. Your way is not a becoming 
     but a being, not a matter of now and then, 
     but always: you are the time of your life.

     When we open our hearts to pain and suffering,
     we begin to heal,

     not becuase suffering is redemptive
     but because opening our heart is.
