Each one of us could describe his or her life as a sacred journey. You are journeying from the beginning to the end, and what makes it sacred is that in the process of this journey you encounter the holy in various forms which, unless you have your eyes open, you might not even notice.
Frederick BuechnerThe world speaks of holy things in the only language it knows, which is worldly language.
Frederick BuechnerIf what makes you happy is going out and living it up and spending all your money on wine, women, and song, the world doesn't need that. But on the other hand, if you give your life to good works - you go and work in a leper colony and it doesn't make you happy - the chances are you're not doing it very well.
Frederick BuechnerThe magic of words is that they have power to do more than convey meaning; not only do they have the power to make things clear, they make things happen.
Frederick BuechnerYour calling is where your own greatest joy intersects with the needs of the world.
