If you feel loved, you can do a thousand things. If you feel rejected, everything becomes a problem.
Henri NouwenThe art of living is to enjoy what we can see and not complain about what remains in the dark.
Henri NouwenIntimacy is not a happy medium. It is a way of being in which the tension between distance and closeness is dissolved and a new horizon appears. Intimacy is beyond fear.
Henri NouwenOur humanity comes to its fullest bloom in giving. We become beautiful people when we give whatever we can give: a smile, a handshake, a kiss, an embrace, a word of love, a present, a part of our life...all of our life.
