“If the veil parts once and you know life is radically okay, then you are—to use the normal Christian language—a child of God. You are in union. There is nothing to prove. Nothing to attain. Everything is already there. It is simply a matter of recognizing and honoring and trusting.” —Richard Rohr, (p. 88 Kindle)
“I look for meaning, but as someone said, ‘If you understand it, things are just as they are. If you don’t understand it, things are just as they are.’ The mystery is to be ready to receive things just as they are and be ready to let them teach us.” —Richard Rohr, (p. 90 Kindle)
“Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth.” —Pema Chodron
