“Silent solitude makes true speech possible and personal. If I am not in touch with my own belovedness, then I cannot touch the sacredness of others. If I am estranged from myself, I am likewise a stranger to others.”
― Abba's Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging

“You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”

“Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.”
― Abba's Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging
― Abba's Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging
“As we come to grips with our own selfishness and stupidity, we make friends with the impostor and accept that we are impoverished and broken and realize that, if we were not, we would be God. The art of gentleness toward ourselves leads to being gentle with others -- and is a natural prerequisite for our presence to God in prayer.”
― Abba's Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging
― Abba's Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
