“Ernest Hemingway was right—there is a crack in everything, and that is how the light gets in. Let warmth touch your wound; let your pain cleanse you in all its entirety.”

“In the garden of self, the wise gardener must guide, Sun and shade, water and earth, in harmony reside. Just as plants seek balance in nature’s embrace, Ego and essence together find their place. A task of awareness, conscious and clear, Ensures neither ego nor essence reigns supreme, but near. In this journey of the soul’s own making, Both light and shadow partake in awakening.”

“To cultivate harmony between ego and essence is to walk the middle path, a path of balance and unity, where the light of the essence illuminates the shadows cast by the ego, and the ego, in turn, grounds us in the physical world we inhabit. This is the path of true self-mastery, a journey that leads to the inner sanctum of peace and the outer expression of our highest potential. It is in this sacred alignment that we find our true selves, not as fragmented beings of light and shadow, but as whole, integrated beings, dancing in the eternal light of harmony.”

“As the annual parade was going by, I would lean into Mom and say, “Someday I want to be in a parade.” And Mom would lean over, point at the parade going by and ask, “What would you want to do if you were in the parade?” “I don’t know,” I would excitedly reply. “I just want to be in a parade!” And it wasn’t until I was far into adulthood that I realized that I simply wanted to be part of a mass of people galvanized by a commitment to create a moment of light and joy for a hurting humanity. Therefore, wherever it might be, we need to remember that there is an empty parade route lined with hurting people who are begging us to join a parade.”
