If love ever finds me again, I hope it arrives gently. I hope it’s someone who hears the words I never quite know how to say, and understands the silence between them.

Spiritual Insight:
The one who walks with faith—in the self, in others, and the Divine—moves through life with quiet strength.

Courage is not the absence of difficulty, but the ability to grow through it. When courage is present, change flows naturally, even in the most trying of circumstances.

Inner Experience:
