We are
not here for the sake of possession, or of power, or of
happiness, but we are here to transfigure the divine out of
human spirit.
Walter Rathenau
Grace is not a
strange, magic substance which is subtly filtered into our
souls to act as a kind of spiritual penicillin. Grace
is unity, oneness within ourselves, oneness with God.
Thomas Merton
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 J. Palmer
The first act
of awe, when a person was struck with the beauty or wonder
of Nature, was the first spiritual experience.
