Whether we fear the existence of boundaries with others or crave more of them, there’s no denying that individuation and separation are inevitable parts of loving relationships that become the site of tension.

Sanskrit has different words to describe love for a brother or sister, love for a teacher, love for a partner, love for one’s friends, love of nature, and so on. English has only one word, which leads to never-ending confusion.

There’s no denying that it takes effort to set the intention to see our fundamental connected-ness with others.

We nurture our sense of connection with the larger whole, noticing that the whole is only as healthy as its smallest part.

Laughing at your pettiness probably works better than scolding yourself for it.

There is a sentiment common among most of us when it comes to love—letting go can feel scary.
