For all our different dramas, we each struggle to give birth to our higher selves. Whether we are young or old, whether our dramas are public or private, we are always evolving toward either a smaller and more fearful self, or a larger and more loving self. The effort to be rooted in love is the effort to grow wise.
Wisdom is like marinade.
First you take what a book said, or what a teacher said, and then you mix it with your own ideas. Then you add experience and pour in a few buckets of tears. Add memories of lost love, a pinch of personal humiliation and a teaspoon of deep regrets. Add to that a cup of courage. Harpo Inc. All rights reserved.
