“Great love -- the kind that illumines and transforms us -- always includes a keen awareness of limitation as well. Though love may inspire us to expand and develop in new ways, we can never be all things to the one we love, or someone other than who we are.

When love comes down to earth -- bringing to light those dark corners we would prefer to ignore, encompassing all the different parts of who we are -- it gains depth and power.” WayWellsKindMayDifferentHelpingLightEarthDarkQualityCompassionAwarenessInspireEssentialsGainsDeterminationAll ThingsDepthCornersAcceptedLimitationWho We AreNew WaysGreat LoveDown To Earth Book:JOURNEY HEART PB Source: JOURNEY HEART PB

“Silence has many dimensions. It can be a regression and an escape, a loss of self, or it can be presence, awareness, unification, self-discovery. Negative silence blurs and confuses our identity, and we lapse into daydreams or diffuse anxieties.
