We rise by lifting others. (Robert Ingersoll)
In this world and in this life, I am water: I am the one who must change. I am the only one who can change. Changing, I am amazed at the changes in others.
-Rev. Hans

Kindness begins with the understanding that we all struggle. (Charles Glassman)
Act without expectation. (Lao Tzu)
I'm of an age where this is visceral. It's not just something to read on a card. I feel it in my knees and in my heart.
The most difficult teachers have been my best teachers. The ones I resist, they break me open so that I may learn. And because I am my most difficult and challenging teacher I need an amount (always more than I imagine) of solitude. To sit. With my willfulness. My obstinance. My denial. All of it!
