My journal is my life's companion.

We make our lives bigger or smaller, more expansive or more limited, according to the interpretation of life that is our story.

Forgiveness is the act of admitting we are like other people. We are prone to make mistakes that cause confusion, inflict pain, and miscommunicate our intentions ... The only choice we have is to reconcile ourselves to our own flaws and the flaws of other people, or withdraw from the community.

Perhaps we wouldn't eat so much, or smoke, or drink so much if we were paying attention to ourselves. Perhaps we wouldn't talk so much if we were paying attention to each other. All these oral activities are trying to meet a need, and perhaps the greatest need is to be seen and heard.

Wonder is not a Pollyanna stance, not a denial of reality wonder is an acknowledgement of the power of the mind to transform, to notice, to decide what experience shall mean.
