I believe a joyful life is made up of joyful moments gracefully strung together by trust, gratitude and inspiration

• To become fully human means learning to turn my gratitude for being alive into some concrete common good. It means growing gentler toward human weakness. It means practicing forgiveness of my and everyone else's hourly failures to live up to divine standards.

It means receiving the human condition as blessing and not curse, in all its achingly frail and redemptive reality.
