“Isn’t it remarkable how our heart so often leads us directly into a crisis or set of them which circumstances may further exacerbate, leaving us feeling trapped, confused, hurt, and perhaps helpless.

The universe is astonishingly unconcerned with our stories about it… but seems deeply interested in making children… of and through us.”
