Nuclear man is the man who realizes that his creative powers hold the potential for self-destruction. He sees that in this nuclear age vast new industrial complexes enable man to produce in one hour that which he labored over for years in the past, but he also realizes that these same industries have disturbed the ecological balance and, through air and noise pollution, have contaminated his own milieu.

Intimacy 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.

I feel strongly that the God we meet in solitude is always the God who calls us to community.

In God's eyes the most significant is often the most hidden.

It is precisely in times of spiritual dryness that we must hold on to our spiritual discipline so that we can grow into new intimacy with God.

We just have to recognize life for what it is: a gift to be grateful for, not a property to cling to, hoard, or defend.

Joy and laughter are the gifts of living in the presence of God and trusting that tomorrow is not worth worrying about.
