Youâ€™re on your way home. If you can just say exactly the way that youâ€™re imprisoned - the door swings open."

-- David Whyte

If this isn't done, you'll have a very difficult time connecting with young people.”

“Where the light is, and each thing clear,Separate from all others, standing in its place,I drink the time and touch whatever's near,And hope for day when the whole world has that face:For what assures her present every year?In dark accidents the mind's sufficient grace.”
