“If we go to the depths of anything, we will begin to knock upon something substantial, “real,” and with a timeless quality to it. We will move from the starter kit of “belief” to an actual inner knowing. This is most especially true if we have ever (1) loved deeply, (2) accompanied someone through the mystery of dying, (3) or stood in genuine life-changing awe before mystery, time, or beauty.”
― Richard Rohr, Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life

“We can save ourselves a lot of distress and accusation by knowing when, where, to whom, and how to talk about spiritually mature things.”
― Richard Rohr, Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life

“Your concern is not so much to have what you love anymore, but to love what you have—right now. This is a monumental change from the first half of life, so much so that it is almost the litmus test of whether you are in the second half of life at all.”
― Richard Rohr, Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life

“great love is always a discovery, a revelation, a wonderful surprise, a falling into “something” much bigger and deeper that is literally beyond us and larger than us.”
― Richard Rohr, Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life
