We're interdependent.
No one can live my life for me, but I can't do it alone.
And I know this from all the things I've been through.
Yeah, I think that one of the things I mentioned earlier, but it's really been a great teacher for me, is that great love and great suffering are the great openers.
and you know there's two ways that human beings will basically learn one is by willfully shedding and the other is by being broken open and if you don't willfully shed don't worry you'll be broken open and often it's a combination and so words and phrases and expressions that matter
are expressed in those openings.
And therefore, whether it comes from me or you or a friend while you're struggling, those
are the great openers.
And then it's open.
That's why it's important to have that heart space open.
So when that comes, yes, a phrase, you know, I had a dear friend and mentor who lived to be 102, Joel Elkes.
He was a child of the Holocaust.
He was a doctor.
He was a watercolorist.
I met him when he was 80 and thought, how much time do we have?
And we
And 22 years.
And, you know, one sentence he said to me when I was just beginning years ago was such an opening for me.
He said, you have a gift.
Honor it and let it be your teacher.
