“The brokenness around you affects you in different ways at different times. .................... . At every point and every moment, your life is messier and more complicated than it really ought to be because everything is so much more difficult in such a terribly broken world.But let us also see that this world of ours is more than a broken-down house. It is a broken-down house in the process of being restored.”

“The fact that you live in a broken-down house in the midst of restoration makes everything more difficult. It removes the ease and simplicity of life. It requires you to be more thoughtful, more careful. It requires you to listen and see well. It requires you to look out for difficulty and to be aware of danger. It requires you to contemplate and plan. It requires you to do what you don;t really want to do and to accept what you find difficult to accept. You want to simply coast, but you can't. Things are broken and they need to be fixed. There is work to do.”

“Even a broken mirror isn’t broken if it allows you to see who you really are—cracked down the middle in your duality.”

“Like a broken vase does not fear of breaking once more, my broken heart is not affected by your hurting words anymore!”

“He [The Bent One] has left you this way because a bent hnau can do more evil than a broken one.”

“There is communion of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine drunk.”
