The journey is your narrative. Keep to it and there will be a tale told.

Caroline DhavernasIt's important to make an effort under any circumstance - stagnant, sickness, being in an unstable lifestyle, even when society is insane.

The keiko that is most important when you cannot move is kage no keiko [shadow training].

Erykah BaduWhat I notice, as a historian reading stories about so-called nature miracles, the walking on the water, or the miraculous catch of fishes, they're done especially for the insiders, for the disciples. Usually healings and exorcisms are done for people along the road, as it were. Jesus doesn't come on the water to save the fishing fleet from Capernaum, he comes on the water to save the disciples. It's a parable, dummy, it's a parable, don't you get it? If the leadership of the church takes off in a boat without Jesus, it will sink, it will get nowhere.

Gilbert K. ChestertonWhen we start out on a spiritual path we often have ideals we think we're supposed to live up to. We feel we're supposed to be better than we are in some way.
