Harold S. KushnerSometimes we are simply "blown away" and in awe by finding ourselves in the presence of God.

Harold S. KushnerOur souls are not hungry for fame, comfort, wealth, or power. Those rewards create almost as many problems as they solve. Our souls are hungry for meaning, for the sense that we have figured out how to live so that our lives matter, so that the world will be at least a little bit different for our having passed through it.
