‘The necklace of your life…’

Breath deeply and try to see each, not as a failure, but as a shimmering bead on a necklace your life is making.

‘When things don’t work out – – -when loves unexpectedly end or careers stop unfolding – – it can be painful and sad, but refusing this larger picture keeps us form finding our resilience. Then, sadness can turn into discouragement, pain can spoil into despair.

Each person we love and each dream we try to give life to brings us closer to the mystery of being alive.

So, we must try as many times as necessary until our many loves become the one love, and many dreams become the one dream, until heart and path feel the same.’
