[S]he believed that the Buddhists were right–that if you want, you will suffer; if you love, you will grieve. (68) - Anne Lamott

Dreadlocks make people wonder if you’re trying to be rebellious.

Frequently, as so many poets and psalmists and songwriters have said, the invisible shift happens through the broken places.

We cheated, you and me, and someone noticed. I noticed you; someone else noticed me. It hurts us. That's not so bad. So many people cheat. Everywhere on every level. Everyone's cheated. I'm just saying that you don't need to see yourself as a cheater. Because that's not who you are. You're someone who cheated. There's a difference, and you should try to get that difference, or that's who you'll grow up to be.
