“In this journey we are all on - the slow, hard backsliding work of becoming more ourselves…
…all the ways we stumble and fall and learn to stand up again. And then we fall. And then we stand up again.”
I loved this book, a new perspective on ‘what is the purpose of our life?’ Or how to reconcile our quest for meaning/purpose all the while running from or running towards or deepest desires.
