• Someone with whom we have a lifetime's worth of lessons to learn is someone whose presence in our lives forces us to grow...those who consciously or unconsciously challenge our fearful positions. They show us our walls. Our walls are our wounds--the places where we feel we can't love any more, can't connect any more deeply, can't forgive past a certain point. We are in each other's lives in order to help us see where we most need healing, and in order to help us heal.

• I used to dream
  I used to glance beyond the stars
  Now I don't know where we are
  although I know we've drifted far
  What about yesterday
  What about the seas
  The heavens are falling down
  I can't even breathe
  What about the bleeding Earth
  Can't we feel its wounds
  What about nature's worth?
  It's our planet's womb.
