If we want to support each other’s inner lives, we must remember a simple truth: the human soul does not want to be fixed, it wants simply to be seen and heard. If we want to see and hear a person’s soul, there is another truth we must remember: the soul is like a wild animal – tough, resilient and yet shy. When we go crashing through the woods shouting for it to come out so we can help it, the soul will stay in hiding, but if we are willing to sit quietly and wait for a while, the soul may show itself.

~Parker Palmer

​

Even when we don’t desire it,

God is ripening.

~Rainer Maria Rilke

​

Just

sit there right now.

Don’t Do a thing. Just rest.

 

For your

separation from God

is the hardest work in the world.

 

Let me bring you trays of food and something

that you like to

drink.

 

You can use my soft words

as a cushion

for

your

head.

~Hafiz

​

each much make a safe place of his heart

before so strange and wild a guest

as God approaches

~Li-Young Lee

​

Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterfalls;

all Your waves and billows have gone over me.

 ~Psalm 42:7

​

Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.
~Simone Weil
