“Something as subtle as scent pushes through me and I drown, for an instant, in the beauty. It's awe, as thoughtless as joy. not my joy, but Joy. Joy that is and will be whether I am here to sense it or not. And for a breath, for only a moment, I believe this Joy to be the true nature of all that is. I would believe this world has no meaning, no soul. But I see this sky and taste this air and I held my child and I watched him cry his first breath. If the universe is nothing but rock and fire and the rules of physics, why does it hurt up and down and as far as it stretches? If I am being punished- God, Father, Mother, All- if I am being punished, let me see my sin. Please. Let me see this somehow makes sense and the world is not just stone and death at its heart.”

“What happens when you face a loss that leaves you unmoving? What happens when you cannot gather yourself up to cry it out? When everything seems inky black and you know not how to sail through life, then how will you keep moving? Will you let your sadness melt so you can flow again? Will you be the river that you go to for solace? O Heart, do not long for the river. Be the river in flow.”

“Would you believe me if I told you we can suffer and experience joy at the same time? Have you felt delight even while your muscles are burning during a climb? Is elation felt alongside the pains of childbirth? Can a mountain be simultaneously majestic and rugged? Joy and suffering can coexist in the same space: they can be experienced together.”
