All of these things are there for us to discover within ourselves. I’ll close with this line from another great memoirist, Elizabeth Gilbert: “I happen to believe we are all walking repositories of buried treasure.”

Keep bringing the fullness of your heart into every situation. Keep being relentlessly kind. The rest will take care of itself.

Let yourself pray without asking God for “something that I want.”

A jazz saxophonist once put it this way: “Music pulls me deeper into being.”
