Key Lesson: We cannot see what we will not look at... but it is not "us" who refuses to look.

Key Lesson: Whatever we may do in this life that is unnatural, if we do it long enough... becomes second nature.

Key Lesson: 
The best things in life are not yet to come; they are inherent in the revelation of every moment in life.

Key Lesson: The whole idea of learning to live with "controlled stress" is like believing that not only are you in control of a war you didn't start, but that you're on the winning side.

Key Lesson: Only the foolish, or otherwise vain try to create a life outside the inexplicable flow of the Divine. The currency of Heaven is change, and the wise invest in its coin.
