I am neither better nor smarter, only luckier.
And I should be ashamed of thinking I knew everything,
because you can know the whole world and still feel lost in it.
So many people are in pain - no matter how smart or accomplished
- they cry, they yearn, they hurt.
But instead of looking down on things, they look up,
which is where I should have been looking, too.
Because when the world quiets to the sound of your own breathing,
we all want the same things: comfort, love and a peaceful heart.
