I would rather have questions
that can't be answered
than answers
that can't be questioned.

.....the message (from the pope) of Easter responds to the cry of pain that rises
from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us,
because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth’s resources,
because of the violence of war that kills and destroys.
Let those who have weapons lay them down.
Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace.
Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue.
Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them.

Pope Leo XIV

You were not just born
to center your entire existence
on work and labor.
You were born to heal, to grow,
to be of service to yourself and community,
to practice, to experiment, to create,
to have space, to dream, and to connect.

Epictetus’s quote “No one is ever unhappy because of someone else” is a corner stone of Stoic philosophy.
It emphasizes that our happiness and unhappiness are internal and not external.
The Stoics believe that true happiness lies within us, and we should not let others’ actions or feelings dictate our own.
This teaching encourages individuals to focus on their own choices and reactions, rather than blaming others for their emotional state.
By understanding this Stoic wisdom, one can cultivate inner peace and freedom from the burden of external influences.

Clutter and mess show us that life is being lived.
Tidiness makes me think of held breath, of suspended animation.
Perfectionism is a mean, frozen form of idealism,
while messes are the artist's true friend.
What people somehow forgot to mention when we were children
was that we need to make messes
in order to find out who we are and why we are here.

To live without forgiveness
is to live separated from the sacred
and from the most basic instincts of our heart.
To live with forgiveness
is to reveal in each moment the beauty
and value of life.
To live with forgiveness
is to choose in each moment
an active role in creating relationships,
organizations, communities,
and a world that works for everyone.
