“Without compassion, we will never know anyone or anything, not even our own story. Too much judgment, too many ideas and attitudes will stand in the way of the fundamental principle that we are similar to, connected with, and part of everything else.” KnowsWayIdeasStoriesAttitudeCompassionPrinciplesToo MuchJudgmentFundamentalsConnectedFundamental Principles Author:Deena Metzger
“Stories move in circle. They don’t move in straight lines. So it helps if you listen in circles. There are stories inside stories and stories between stories and finding your way through them is as easy and as hard as finding your way home. And part of the finding is the getting lost. And when you’re lost you start to look around and to listen.” IfsWayLooksHardHelpingStoriesHomeMovingLostEasyLinesFindingsCirclesStraight LinesWay HomeGetting LostLost YouFinding Your Way Author:Deena Metzger
“A sacred illness is one that educates us and alters us from the inside out, provides experiences and therefore knowledge that we could not possibly achieve in any other way, and aligns us with a life path that is, ultimately, of benefit to ourselves and those around us.” WayLifeInspirationalWisdomSpiritualHealingKnowledgePathAchieveBenefitsExperienceTransformationSacredIllnessAwakeningNovelistsEducateSpiritual WisdomEncouragingChanging Your LifeSpiritual AwakeningWords Of EncouragementSpiritual HealingSelf TransformationSpiritual TransformationAlterationsLife Path Author:Deena Metzger
“We want to be God in all the ways that are not the ways of God, in what we hope is indestructible or unmoving. But God is the most fragile, a bare smear of pollen, that scatter of yellow dust from the tree that tumbled over in the storm of my grief and planted itself again. God is the death agony of the frog that cannot find water in the time of the drought we created. God is the scream of the rabbit caught in the fires we set. God is the One whose eyes never close and who hears everything.” WayWantSoulEyeWaterGriefFireTreeCaughtStormDustFragileYellowScreamAgonyRabbitsFrogsDroughtIndestructiblePollen Author:Deena Metzger
