Have you ever noticed that if you wait for perfection, your wait will be everlasting and your spirit will splinter.

Have you ever noticed how a little spark of light in the darkness illuminates an unexplored corner vastly more than a floodlight could?

A spotlight in the darkened theater of your life can bring you Alive.

This is the first of a series of excerpts from my book, “Cracked Open“. This small volume contains wonderful quotations from all ages and traditions each accompanied by my “Reflections” that were inspired by them. For many, it is a perfect morning meditiation, setting the course for their day – open at any page and you discover a perfect pair – quotation and reflection. Buy this volume for an ideal gift of caring & love. Gift Yourself as well!
