One should hallow all that one does in one's natural life. One eats in holiness, tastes the taste of food in holiness, and the table becomes an altar. One works in holiness, and raises up the sparks which hide themselves in all tools. One walks in holiness across the fields, and the soft songs of all herbs, which they voice to God, enter into the song of our soul.
Martin BuberIf a person kills a tree before its time, it is like having murdered a soul.-Rabbi Nachman
Martin BuberHe who desires to become aware of the hidden light must lift the feeling of fear up to its source. And he can accomplish this if he judges himself and all he does. For then he sheds all fears and lifts fear that has fallen down. But if he does not judge himself, he will be judged from on high, and this judgment will come upon him in the guise of countless things, and all the things in the world will become messengers of God who carry out the judgment on this man.
Martin BuberMan wishes to be confirmed in his being by man, and wishes to have a presence in the being of the otherโฆ. Secretly and bashfully he watches for a YES which allows him to be and which can come to him only from one human person to another.
Martin BuberWe should also pray for the wicked among the peoples of the world; we should love them too.
Martin Buber
