“Are the gods not just?""Oh no, child. What would become of us if they were?”

“within the core of each of us is the child we once were. This child constitutes the foundation of what we have become, who we are, and what we will be.”

“Oh, what an unbearable yoke is free will! What a vicious curse of the gods, granting self-determination to creatures incapable of guiding themselves! What good parent would free a child among tigers?”

“Most of us were taught that God would love us if and when we change. In fact, God loves you so that you can change. What empowers change, what makes you desirous of change is the experience of love. It is that inherent experience of love that becomes the engine of change.”

“What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God.”

“Biblically, waiting is not just something we have to do until we get what we want. Waiting is part of the process of becoming what God wants us to be.”
