I had my own prosperity gospel, a flowering weed grown in with all the rest.
David Thompson
Great book. Good address to the question of suffering and why things “happen”.

“spiritual direction as Henri understood it can be defined as a relationship initiated by a spiritual seeker who finds a mature person of faith willing to pray and respond with wisdom and understanding to his or her questions about how to live spiritually in a world of ambiguity and distraction.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, Spiritual Direction: Wisdom for the Long Walk of Faith

Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy
“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.”
Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy

“When you feel like throwing rocks, make sure they're ones no one can throw back.”
Rebecca McKinsey

“The movement of descent and discovery begins at the moment you consciously become dissatisfied with life. . . . Concealed within this basic unhappiness with life and existence is the embryo of a growing intelligence, a special intelligence, usually buried under the immense weight of social shams. A person who is beginning to sense the suffering of life is, at the same time, beginning to “awaken” to deeper realities, truer realities.4”
Kathleen D. Singh, The Grace in Dying: A Message of Hope, Comfort and Spiritual Transformation

Becca Fitzpatrick
“Sometimes bad things have to happen before good things can.”
Becca Fitzpatrick, Crescendo
