It feels so fitting to read this book about spiritual homecoming while visiting the place that is technically my homecountry.
"I hope and pray that you too will discover within yourselves not only the lost children of God, but also the compassionate mother and father that is God."

I underlined so many quotes in this second chapter because they all pierced my heart. Here's one: "Only when I have the courage to explore in depth what it means to leave home, can I come to a true understanding of the return. (...) "In the context of a compassionate embrace, our brokenness may appear beautiful, but our brokenness had no other beauty but the beauty that comes from the compassion that surrounds it."

"I have a new vocation now. It is the vocation to speak and write from that place back into the many places of my own and other people's restless lives. I have to kneel before the Father, put my ear against his chest and listen, without interruption, to the heartbeat of God. Then, and only then, can I say carefully and very gently what I hear now."
