So much is about Openings:

Open windows,

Open doors,

Open hands,

Open minds,

Open hearts.

OPENING THE DOOR

And the more I know, the less I understand/All the things I thought I’d figured out/I have to learn again/ I’ve been trying to get down/to the heart of the matter/ But everything changes/ And my friends seem to scatter/ But I think it’s about forgiveness.

Don Henley

So, now that we have a few of the answers, perhaps it would be useful to figure out what some of the questions are. What do I need to make me happy? How do I live a life filled with love and satisfaction? What does it take to not worry so much? How do I gain more power over my life? What does being generous have to do with any-thing? What can I do to feel more worthwhile?

This book is designed to look at these questions and more. This book is designed to help you explore and challenge. This trail we travel together will unfold before us as we move deeply into our-selves, into the culture that helps form us, into our faith, into our spirituality as we forage for what will sustain a life of transformative power.

The hills may challenge you, the views inspire you, the journey reward you with understanding that will make the ingredients you possess more useful, and give you new ones to create a delicious and fulfilling feast of life.

To create solutions for our lives right now…. Requires two things of us:

That we do something different than we are doing today, which is just another way of saying we must walk into the unknown;

And that we be different than we are today, which by definition means that we risk separating from others.

Frances Moore Lappé & Jeffrey Perkins

How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.
