….it struck her that that perhaps everyone had the ability to see themselves in others. Even in the rocks. Even in the roses.

…purification was the point of such pain.

No one is born beneath this dance. This dance gives birth to you.

Love was not the point and pity was a poor man’s pride.

….life is the work of the spirit trying to have a human experience.

…anyone looking for friends without faults shall remain friendless. The choice is yours.

Purge everything that’s holding you back. Whatever it is you feel you are being deprived of, trust the limitation serves to bring you more of what you want.

I was afraid of the dance once, too. But I learned to embrace it and the mistakes I would make. Do not turn away from your fear. Turn toward love instead.

The point is to turn your grief into love. The roses are helping you find grace.

The only mistake you have made is asking the wrong question. It isn’t about what you did wrong. It’s what you have not yet done.

…lose your mind so that you can gain a new way of knowing.

Everything that has ever been beautiful has been burned. Like you.

If you can love all who’ve betrayed you… you can taste sweetness in everything.

Your transformation will be the miracle.

The dance had distilled her and she had become one with the essence of all that is.

You know you have received the invitation when your heart is ready to risk everything to hold the hand of God.

Be willing to turn your attention to that which serves you.

…see the blessing and beauty that you are.
