Once you are in communion with God, you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear other people in whom God has also found a dwelling place.

The man who can articulate the movements of his inner life need no longer be a victim of himself, but is able slowly and consistently to remove the obstacles that prevent the spirit from entering.

People have filled an enormously important role in my life - more than books! For me, it's not the formal advising or the therapy that meant so much. It was more the fact that someone committed himself or herself to me. They were really interested in my life; they wanted to know what I was doing; they followed me; they dared to confront and challenge me.

One of the tragedies of our life is that we keep forgetting who we are

When people show you their boundaries ("I can't do this for you") you feel rejected...part of your struggle is to set boundaries to your own love. Only when you are able to set your own boundaries will you be able to acknowledge, respect and even be grateful for the boundaries of others.

Keep a space where God can let something totally new take place.

Hiddenness is the place of purification. In hiddenness we find our true selves.
