For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most
difficult task of all...., the work for which all other work is but

preparation. It is a high inducement to the individual to ripen...

a great claim upon us, something that chooses us out and calls

us to vast things.

—Rilke

Meredith: It has become more difficult to introduce myself. How do we describe who we are? I realize that I am not defined by my name, my gender, my profession, my relationships, my religion, or my accomplishments. My past does not define me. I am… something else. Some will say that I am a presence moving gently here, and that I am one who listens deeply, loves with an open heart, finds bliss in ordinary miracles, and seeks truth in silence, innocently. I am not so different than you.
