Wholeness

   Wholeness is not the product of self-sufficiency or 

   independence, but rather of the genuinely inclusive 

   communion that results from sharing our humanity

   with one another in light of the grace of God.

Don't make things more complicated

than they need to be.

Within yourself

Why should you look for treasure abroad?

Within yourself you have a bright pearl.

To know you

     If I really want to know who you are, I 
     am not going to ask what you know. I 
     am not even going to ask what you 
     believe. If I really want to know what 
     you’re about, the question I will ask 
     is: “What do you want?” 
     What do you love?”

Creativity

We can pick our teachers and 

we can pick our friends and   we can pick the books we read 

and the music we listen to and the movies we see, etcetera.

You are a mashup of what you let into your life.

Observation

The range of what we think and do

Is limited by what we fail to notice.

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Exceptional

Eventually it comes to you: the thing that makes you exceptional is also what makes you lonely.
