In Search Of Spirituality

I read this thought from Henri Nouwen last week and have been drawn back to it several times for further thought. I guess it's time to share it.


“To live a spiritual life we must first find the courage to enter into the desert of our loneliness and to change it by gentle and persistent efforts into a garden of solitude. The movement from loneliness to solitude, however, is the beginning of any spiritual life because it it is the movement from the restless senses to the restful spirit, from the outward-reaching cravings to the inward-reaching search, from the fearful clinging to the fearless play.”


To try to add anything would be arrogant but to try to unlock all the thoughts in what Nouwen shares is an exciting adventure to dream of.
