“If our virtue isn't marked by and noted in Love, we will never subdue all those rebellious appetites. We fight fire with fire, except the fire of Love is eternal and burns hotter than the sun. The fire of Love consumes the fire of rebellion.”

“All my comings and goings were the attempt at that best Life, dutifully obeying everything I was told and everything I had heard…But all that seemed to come my way was guilt and shame for not arriving.”

“That way of life showed me nothing of Beauty or how to enjoy Good Gifts, or how all of life—the food, the drink, the sex, the people, the clouds, the sea, all of it-oriented me toward the Source.” 💯

“We're so used to experiencing wonder through novelty that our romance, our religion, our friendships are tainted by some desperate need for freshness. But the best things are wonderful by familiarity; they inspire awe by intimacy.”
