Our Difficult Experiences

"In fact, our most difficult experiences become the crucibles that forge our character and develop the internal powers, the freedom to handle difficult circumstances in the future and to inspire others to do so as well."

-- Stephen R. Covey


"Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself."

-- William Hazlitt


"People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences will have resonances with our own innermost being, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive."

-- Joseph Campbell
