We cannot live in a world that is not our own, in a world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a home. Part of the terror is to take back our own listening, to use our own voice, to see our own light.

Humanity finds itself in the midst of the world. In the midst of all other creatures humanity is the most significant and yet the most dependent upon the others.

It is easier to gaze into the sun, than into the face of the mystery of God. Such is its beauty and its radiance.

The earth which sustains humanity must not be injured. It must not be destroyed!

You are encircled by the arms of the mystery of God.

You are the mountain and the valley.

Holy persons draw to themselves all that is earthly.
