And somehow, and this is what I mean about being ready for grace.

All of a sudden, the sun's starting to come up.

And because I was open, and maybe open because of all the pain, exhausted, it occurred to me that somewhere nearby, a baby's being born.

And somewhere nearby, a couple's making love for the first time.

And somewhere further down the road, a father and a son who haven't spoken in years are finally sitting down and having coffee.

And it was in that moment that I discovered that to be broken is no reason to see all things as broken.

You know, I was raised Jewish.

I have a great tie to the Jewish heritage.

But through all this, I became a student of all paths.

And that's informed all my books, all my teaching.

And because then, and even all these years later, because the tumor in my brain vanished, that was a miracle.

The surgery removed the rib.

That was a miracle.

Even the damn chemo was a miracle.

So I was not, and I'm still not wise enough to know what worked and what didn't.

And I feel like I was challenged to believe in everything.

And so I really see the common center of all formal and informal paths, the unique gifts of each, and how do we share them?

How do we make use of them?

So, yeah, so this is one of my favorite passages.

It's June 6th, and it's called Two Monkeys Sleeping.
