The truth is that every time a door closes behind us, the rest of the world opens up in front of us. All we need to do is stop pounding on the door that is now closed, turn around, and see the largeness of life that now lies open to our soul.
Parker J. Palmer
...our culture wants to turn mysteries into problems to be solved or breakdowns to be fixed, because maintaining the illusion that we can "straighten things out" makes us feel powerful. Yet mysteries never yield to solutions or fixes--and when we pretend that they do, life not only becomes more banal but more hopeless, because the fixes never works.

... our limitations and liabilities are the flip side of our gifts... our weaknesses are the inevitable trade-offs we must make for having the strengths that we have... the way that closes in our lives is only the other side of the way that opens.
