Permission Arrives Quietly
Many people confuse clarity with certainty.
Or confidence.
Or emotional relief.
Or the temporary absence of doubt.
But clarity and feeling are not the same thing.
Keeping Company
Thoughtful people collect interesting things…
And somewhere along the way, they begin studying their own lives
Because life is fascinating.
What Keeps Returning?
Sometimes life repeats itself.
Not in dramatic ways.
In small ways…
You notice it once and think nothing of it.
Twice and you smile.
Three times and you begin to wonder.
