It’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.

………..
Throughout all generations we will render thanks unto Thee
And declare Thy praise,
Evening, morning, and noon,
For our lives which are in Thy care,
For our souls which are in Thy keeping
For thy miracles which we witness daily,
And for Thy wondrous deeds and blessings toward us at all times.
–Jewish Prayer
Time can repeat for you nothing but Love when Love becomes your only residue. When one thing only is repeated at every place and time it then becomes a constancy filling all Time and Space and thus annihilating both.
–The book of mirdad
….
The deepest level of communication is not communication, but communion. It is wordless. It is beyond words. It is beyond speech, and it is beyond concept. Not that we discover a new unity. Not that we discover an older unity. My dear Brothers, we are already one. But we imagine we are not. And what we have to recover is our original unity. What we have to be is what we are.
–Thomas Merton
