Her philosophy of Life: a permanant opening, exploration and discovery of oneself, and through discovering oneself, you come to understand others and once learning deeply from one’s landscape
of experiences, one can begin to give full compassion. By observing others as if they were parts of ourselves, and vica versa, one sees that everyone is carrying parts of each other. The dimension of experience and the faces of life is common to all, and the understanding towards it is what differs. This differential understanding that is attached to our stories contributes to the facet or the tension of humankind.
Beliefs: in Mystery (we don’t have all the answers, only good guesses). Khalil Gibran’s philosophy on life, humanity, relationships and God is all about that Mystery. He says that we ourselves don’t direct the course of love as it is not to be possessed, but rather one’s course is directed by love as it is far greater than any of us can imagine.
