Quotes
The wind is the sacred music of the leaves; wherever and whenever the vane of the soul is turned toward heaven, there is a melody.
The storm is out there and every one of us must eventually face the storm. When the storm comes, pray that it will shake you to your roots and break you wide-open. Being broken open by the storm is your only hope. When you are broken open you get to discover for the first time what is inside you. Some people never get to see what is inside them; what beauty, what strength, what truth and love. They were never broken open by the storm. So, don't run from your pain — embrace it and allow the storm to open you up.
As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
