Stay hungry.

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.

When you feel stuck – and you will – don’t stay long.

Stay hungry.

Hunger helps you find a solution.

On a plane, in a line, with friends, doesn’t matter, just ask…

 

Ask someone to tell you something spiritual in a random conversation and see how they react.

Other situations are never as they appear to be.

Too much unknown detail is hidden from us and therefore our deductions are inaccurate.

Yet we live as if they are spot on.

There are times you can just tell

how many seemingly insignificant opportunities slip down the drain?

Teaching last night after dinner, on the top hospital floor, I heard a helicopter. Immediately, intuitively, I said a brief prayer, knowing that it was dark, a helicopter was landing on the roof, and we were at a hospital. This couldn’t be good.
