Stay the Course

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a  private chart of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Gifts to our beloved

The best gift we can offer our beloved is our true presence, our true listening. We can ask our beloved one,
"Darling, do you think I understand you enough? Please tell me how you are really doing. Please open your heart and help me to understand your joys and difficulties, so I can understand you and truly love you."

-Thich Nhat Hanh
