A boat is safe in the harbor. But this is not the purpose of a boat.

I learned that the search for God is a Dark Night, that Faith is a Dark Night. And that’s hardly a surprise really, because for us each day is a dark night. None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, and yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.

When I had my sheep, I was happy, and I made those around me happy. People saw me coming and welcomed me, he thought. But now I'm sad and alone. I'm going to become bitter and distrustful of people because one person betrayed me. I'm going to hate those who have found their treasure because I never found mine. And I'm going to hold on to what little I have, because I'm too insignificant to conquer the world.

Worshiping someone means...placing that person outside of our world. We are not worshiping anyone or anything, we are simply communing with Creation.

Excessive caution destroys the soul and the heart, because living is an act of courage, and an act of courage is always an act of love.

Life is like cooking: before choosing what you love, try everything... ♥

Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time.
