The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you.
Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says, but rather to what he does not say.

To work magic is to weave the unseen forces into form; to soar beyond sight; to explore the uncharted dream realm of the hidden reality. – Starhawk from Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach

My childhood Hallowe’en costumes were always some variation on the witch theme, with the capes becoming more and more elaborate as the years went on. I think I fared better than my siblings who opted for ghost garb.

The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.

The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort,  and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day. – from This is Water by David Foster Wallace

Sometimes it seems that all my time is spent picking up the pieces of other people’s lives.

Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
Mark Twain

This past weekend I traveled to Vancouver to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving with my family. One afternoon while we were watching the cargo ships and spawning Chinook salmon from a pier along the Burrard Inlet, my sister-in-law spotted a couple wearing matching pendants and approached the two to get a better look. The ornaments were Miraculous Mary medals and to my surprise, the man gave me his. I was very moved by his act of kindness and will treasure it for years to come!
