“So at the end of this day, we give thanksFor being betrothed to the unknown.”

“It is a strange and wonderful fact to be here, walking around in a body, to have a whole world within you and a world at your fingertips outside you. It is an immense privilege, and it is incredible that humans manage to forget the miracle of being here. Rilke said, ‘Being here is so much,’ and it is uncanny how social reality can deaden and numb us so that the mystical wonder of our lives goes totally unnoticed. We are here. We are wildly and dangerously free.”

“When our eyes are graced with wonder, the world reveals its wonders to us. There are people who see only dullness in the world and that is because their eyes have already been dulled. So much depends on how we look at things. The quality of our looking determines what we come to see.”

“May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder.”

“On the day when the weight deadens on your shoulders and you stumble, may the clay dance to balance you.”

“Each of us is an artist of our days; the greater our integrity and awareness, the more original and creative our time will become.”

“So much depends not on how awkward destiny is, but rather on how openly it is embraced.”
