I choose L'Arche; L'Arche chooses me. I would be dead if I weren't here. I need people to love me and care for me.
Henri NouwenWaiting is a dry desert between where we are and where we want to be. (Finding My Way Home)
Henri NouwenListening is much more than allowing another to talk while waiting for a chance to respond. Listening is paying full attention to others and welcoming them into our very beings. The beauty of listening is that those who are listened to start feeling accepted, start taking our words more seriously and discovering their true selves.
