-We are a mass of contradictions. Always trying to be more, yet trying to accept and love ourselves just as we are. Trying to accept the reality of the human experience while knowing that we are also spiritual beings.

We suffer, yet we can rise above our suffering. We experience loss, yet we feel love forever. We take life for granted, yet we know it does not last. We live in a world filled with less and more, with cycles of scarcity and abundance, big and small. If we can recognize these oppositions, we will be happier.

Yes, I have a plan for the day, I will go to work, I will mow the lawn, et cetera. But I surrender to the knowledge that my plans are just a working blueprint. There will be changes, paths I didn't expect. Wonderful surprises, maybe scary surprises. There will be situations that will lead me on new journeys. I trust that all this will lead me in a direction that will bring my being, my soul, to its greatest unfolding.
