Snips

We try to consume the external, to give us a feeling of internal satisfaction. And yet we cannot satisfy that yearning, because nothing outside of us is the stuff for which we hunger. The more we grab, the less centered we are. And so we disintegrate; we do not grow. We take on the characteristics of neurotic, needy people, for that is who we decide to be when we look to the world for what the word cannot give us. It is imperative, therefore, that we give time each day, each week, to silence, to the internal search, to honoring God before the world. WE must embrace the void instead of resisting it. That is the way of the mystic. It is the only way we can heal.
Marianne Williamson

"Ultimately, we must learn to trust ourselves. When we do this intimately and intelligently, the world opens full of meaning before us. We find that we ourselves are the doorway to a fathomless understanding of the source of life itself. We need only to learn to walk through it."James Thornton
