― Richard Rohr, Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life

“If you look deep into the palm of your hand,
you will see your Parents and all generations of your Ancestors.
All of them are alive in this moment.
Each is present in your body.
YOU are the continuation of each of these people."
~Thich Nhat Hahn~”

“All great spirituality teaches about letting go of what you don’t need and who you are not. Then, when you can get little enough and naked enough and poor enough, you’ll find that the little place where you really are is ironically more than enough and is all that you need. At that place, you will have nothing to prove to anybody and nothing to protect.

That place is called freedom. It’s the freedom of the children of God. Such people can connect with everybody. They don’t feel the need to eliminate anybody . . .”
― Richard Rohr, Healing Our Violence through the Journey of Centering Prayer
