“Yes, all of this is sorrow. But leave a little love burning always like the small bulb in the room of a sleeping baby that gives him a bit of security and quiet love though he doesn’t know what the light is or where it comes from.”
― Yehuda Amichai, The Poetry of Yehuda Amichai

“Listening is the oldest and perhaps the most powerful tool of healing. It is often through the quality of our listening and not the wisdom of our words that we are able to effect the most profound changes in the people around us. When we listen, we offer with our attention an opportunity for wholeness. Our listening creates sanctuary for the homeless parts with the other person. That which has been denied, unloved, devalued by themselves and others. That which is hidden. In this culture the soul and the heart too often go homeless. When you listen generously to people, they can hear the truth in themselves, often for the first time.”
― Rachel Naomi Ramen

“Aimer est une aventure sans carte et sans compas où seule la prudence égare.”

“La lucidité est la blessure la plus rapprochée du soleil.”
