In most of our human relationships, we spend much of our time reassuring one another that our costumes of identity are on straight.

It was as if the whole western mind-training of individual differences had been made background instead of figure, so that you'd look at another human being and say, "Here we are." You'd see differences more as clothing, rather than as core stuff.

Suffering is the sandpaper of our incarnation. It does its work of shaping us.
