If we do not allow for a rhythm of rest in our overly busy lives, illness becomes our Sabbathโ our pneumonia, our cancer, our heart attack, our accidents create Sabbath for us.
Wayne MullerCan it then be that what we call the 'self' is fluid and elastic? It evolves, strikes a different balance with every new breath.
Wayne MullerAs Gandhi wisely points out, even as we serve others we are working on ourselves; every act, every word, every gesture of genuine compassion naturally nourishes our own hearts as well. It is not a question of who is healed first. When we attend to ourselves with compassion and mercy, more healing is made available for others. And when we serve others with an open and generous heart, great healing comes to us.
