"I'm so thankful for the ways you gracefully and generously led such a challenging few days of discussion and learning. I'm confident the event was much more generative thanks to your ability to help us ALL hold the complexity we face.

 

Your guidance around holding complexity and difference reminds me of one of my favorite prayers – when the Dutch writer Harry Mulisch was once asked the secret of life, he responded: “Make the puzzle bigger!”  The drama of our life and death is fleeting, but it is played out on a stage of unparalleled wonder. Pain, which can be so consuming, is not all. Part of the secret of life is enlarging our view of the world and enlarging our hearts. 

 

Thank you for helping me enlarge my heart!"
