Happy first day of June! I want to dedicate this month to the quest for tenderness--together with exuberance, tenderness is one the two chief components of my true voice that I no longer want to deny but have in some ways mislaid or wrapped into too many veils of protection.

So many dreams crisscross and weave the tapestry of our human lives--sometimes I watch, and I am moved by the immensity of it all. For example, I stood at the Grand Canyon and was in awe of the canyon itself, of course, but also in awe of the faces of the people around me. So many wishes, dreams, irritations, prayers, all contained and so often barely visible. How beautiful we are.

Honor your tenderness today.
