woah so so so so good. it’s so short- just read it and let your life and heart be touched!
some quotes to convince you to read:
“in solitude we become aware that our worth is not the same as our usefulness”.
“when we dare to care, then we discover that nothing human is foreign to us, but that all the hatred and love, cruelty and compassion, fear and joy can be found in our own hearts… by the honest recognition and confession of our human sameness we can participate in the care of the God who came, not to the powerful but powerless, not to be different but the same, not to take our pain away but to share it.”
“our life is a short time in expectation, a time in which sadness and joy kiss each other at every moment.”
“i have always been complaining that my work was constantly interrupted until i slowly discovered that my interruptions were my work.”
“a man or woman without hope in the future cannot live creatively in the present.”
