The Promise We Made Quotes

“Life is about surprises. Sometimes filling us with unexpected joy and, at other times, inviting us to face them. With all their might, reverence, and astonishing forces of nature, dancing to their rhythm, cycle, and flight. Weaving. Weaving their threads into our human life. And within their flow, we humans can only stand breathless before their magnificent force. Washing us away from one self to another, taking us through whirlpools and whirlwinds, spitting us out on new shores, never to return. Inviting us to awake and live our lives with attentiveness to the truth that walks in our hearts. To live our life by choice.”

“The thing about deep personal quests is that you cannot search for the answers. The answers find you while you are on your journey, in their intended timing. Others can guide us. Books may resonate, propose a direction, or awaken questions. The answers. My answers. Your answers. The deep and real ones must be figured out by each of us. For me to own what I learned and embrace the gifts of this journey, I had to go through it myself. Heal what requested healing and own everything this journey brought as my power and understanding. Claim its teachings and have it become part of my family’s actual life.”
