“Sometimes even a "Yes" can be fatal for our Souls”

“Sometimes even feeling bad feels good. Negative emotions can feel so familiar (especially if they mimic our past) as to actually be comforting. Awareness is realizing that our life could always be better. Growth is doing what it takes to make it better.”

“Sometimes, even when I'm standing on a remarkable slice of terra firma, I'm besotted with wanderlust, my heart thumping for the next unknown place and my mind wondering what's next. But right now, in this rain forest, floating in crystal waters after a walk on ancient, sacred soil with my flesh and blood, I want to be nowhere else. Nowhere. This, right now, is home. I can hear God through the rustling of the prehistoric fan shaped leaves, the scurry of alien insects on the bark, the familiar laughter of my children slipping on stones in the water. Everything here is unfamiliar, but it's familiar. We are transient, vagabonds, and yet we're tethered.”

“Sometimes, even when you lie to protect someone, it tears you apart. It breaks your heart because you carry the weight of every word you didn’t say and every truth you had to hide. You watch them safe, smiling, thinking everything is fine… while your own heart quietly breaks under the burden of your lies and the things you’re hiding. You know you did it for them, yet somehow, it still feels like you who has hurt them.”

“Sometimes events that lead us bereft of anything but grief just happen for no reason other than happenstance--a car turns left instead of right, a train is missed, a call comes too late--and the real test of our humanness is whether, in light of that knowledge, we are ever able to recover. When we again find our way despite the inability to manufacture a deeper meaning in our suffering, that I think is when God smiles upon us, proud of the strength of his creation.”

“Sometimes everything is ready in your favour, all the conditions are right for you, all the obstacles have allowed you, all that remains is for you to take action now, and not taking action at such times is such a great stupidity that even if you do take action later, everything will fall on you, everything that allowed you to do so will now try to take revenge on you!”
