Emotions talked to you before you had words, so listen to them ... they are often more honest than the mind's remarkable ability to self deceive.

You need boundaries... Even in our material creations, boundaries mark the most beautiful of places, between the ocean and the shore, between the mountains and the plains, where the canyon meets the river.
William P. Young
It is not the nature of love to force a relationship, but it is the nature of love to open the way.
William P. Young
You cannot heal yourself. You cannot heal anybody else. We're designed to do this in community because we were created inside community for community by community.
William P. Young
Part of my journey is to say that the soul of the human being must be a massively intricate, wonderful creation that God has a respect for in ways that we do not and that leaves a huge amount of space to go explore.
William P. Young
Sometimes honesty can be incredibly messy
William P. Young
Forgiveness does not create a relationship. Unless people speak the truth about what they have done and change their mind and behavior, a relationship of trust is not possible. When you forgive someone you certainly release them from judgment, but without true change, no real relationship can be established.
William P. Young
You may have to declare your forgiveness a hundred times the first day and the second day, but the third day will be less and each day after, until one day you will realize that you have forgiven completely. And then one day you will pray for his wholeness and give him over to me so that my love will burn from his life every vestige of corruption.

Paradigms power perceptions, perceptions power emotions.
William P. Young
I make a distinction between true and real. I think that the story is true, it’s just not real. That’s what a parable is. It takes things that we all know are real, and it takes life events that actually happens, and it weaves them into a fiction that allows truth to actually be embedded.
William P. Young
Did I hear God call me an idiot?
William P. Young
Because you continue to inhabit and believe your metaphors, you cannot see what is true.
William P. Young
The world in many ways would be a much calmer and gentler place if women ruled. There would have been fewer children sacrificed to the gods of greed and power.
William P. Young
Does that mean, asked Mack, that all roads will lead to you? Not at all, smiled Jesus...Most roads don't lead anywhere. What it does mean is that I will travel any road to find you.
William P. Young
Women, in general, will find it difficult to turn from a man and stop demanding that he meets their needs, provides security, and protects their identity, and return to me. Men, in general, find it very hard to turn from the works of their hands, their own quests for power and security and significance, and turn to me.
William P. Young
Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat.
William P. Young
Today's minor irritations may become tomorrow's treasured memories. We often don't know what we are missing, until it's missing.
William P. Young
Jesus picked up the conversation. As the crowning glory of creation, you were made in Our image, unencumbered by structure and free to simply 'be' in relationship with Me and one another. If you had trully learned to regard one another's concerns as significant as your own, there would be no need for hierarchy.
William P. Young
City and country -- each has its own beauty and its own pain. Some of the smallness of small towns -- cattiness, everybody knowing everybody's business -- that can be challenging. And cities can be challenging, because no one can connect except electronically.
William P. Young
If a rainbow makes a sound, or a flower as it grows, that was the sound of her laughter.
William P. Young
Even though you can't finally grasp me, guess what? I still want to be known.
William P. Young
