“If you truly listen, if you pay attention

to the poignant beauty of the world,

your heart will often break.

In fact, your heart is made to break;

its purpose is to open itself again and again 

so that it can hold ever more wonders.”

~ Andrew Harvey ~ 

“I don’t seek holiness, the sacred, purity;

these things are found after this life,

not in this life; but in this life I seek to be

fully human: to feel, to give, to receive,

to laugh, to lose myself, to be found, to dance,

to love and to desire, to be so human.”
