If I insist on giving you my truth, and never stop to receive your truth in return,

then there can be no truth between us.

~Thomas Merton

from wherever I am, I feel…..

inquiry for today~ where is the softer side?

blues become us…..

I swear I will not dishonor my soul with hatred,

but offer myself humbly as a guardian of nature,

as a healer of misery, as a messenger of wonder,

as an architect of peace.

~Diane Ackerman
