“I am struck by how sharing our weakness and difficulties is more nourishing to others than sharing our qualities and successes.”

“How little we knew each other, though for centuries our homes had shared walls. How little we will learn, now that all we share is a border.”

“How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide our wounds when we are all wounded! Community requires the ability to expose our wounds and weaknesses to our fellow creatures. It also requires the ability to be affected by the wounds of others... But even more important is the love that arises among us when we share, both ways, our woundedness.”

“Sometimes our strengths are also our weaknesses. Sometimes to be strong you have to first be weak. You have to share your burdens; you have to lean on other people while you face your problems and yourself.”

“A simple question. A simple answer. What opportunities lie within our reach that hold the power to make a difference in the quality of the lives of others simply by sharing the bounties and blessings that grace our lives?”

“In sharing how God is changing our lives, we find the lives of others changed as well.”
