You Can Tell A Lot About What

Until You Divest Yourself Of The Notion That You Are A Collection Of Needs, An Empty Vessel That Someone Else Must Fill Up, There Will Be No Safe Place To Harbor Yourself, No Safe Shore To Reach. As Long As You Think Mostly Of Getting, You Will Have Nothing Real To Give.

Friends Are Like Windows Through Which You See Out Into The World And Back Into Yourself. If You Don't Have Friends You See Much Less Than You Otherwise Might.

Compassion Is The Thing That Leads You Gently Back To Yourself.

We Marry To Grow Up, To Escape Our Parents And To Inherit Our Share Of The World, Not Knowing Who We Are And Who We Will Become, So It Is Left To Marriage To Make It Clear Which Ones Of Us Are Growing In The Same Directions And Which Are Ships Meant To Have Passed In The Night.

The Act Is Unjustifiable That Either Begs For A Blessing, Or, Having Succeeded Gives No Thanksgiving.
