Sooner or later we will come to the edge of all that we can control and find life, waiting there for us.
Rachel Naomi RemenIf we fear loss enough, in the end the things we possess will come to possess us.
Rachel Naomi RemenBig messages come in small packages. All it may take to restore someone's trust in life may be returning a lost earring or a dropped glove.
Rachel Naomi RemenI spent the first forty years of my life making major interventions into other people's lives, and I have an idea of the limitations of that method. I see a major event as rather like major surgery. It is a moment, but whether people use it, whether people go with it, needs to be seen.
Rachel Naomi RemenA human life has seasons much as the earth has seasons, each time with its own particular beauty and power. And gift. By focusing on springtime and summer, we have turned the natural process of life into a process of loss rather than a process of celebration and appreciation. Life is neither linear nor stagnant. It is movement from mystery to mystery. Just as a year includes autumn and winter, life includes death, not as an opposite but as an integral part of the way life is made.
