“What happens when your mind wars with your heart? Your soul burns. That’s me right now. My soul is on fucking fire. My mind is rationaling, clinging desperately to logic. My heart is crying. I don’t know how to process it. I’m feeling everything and nothing at once. Blessed and cursed in the same breath. I want to cry and revel in the chaos simultaneously. As if every emotion is tangled in a knot, pulling in every direction. What the fuck do I do? No clear answer. Only a void, deep in my heart, aching profusely. Back in my residence (because I can’t call it home), I roam the house like an unfeeling pile of limbs.”

“Mindfulness meditation doesn't change life. Life remains as fragile and unpredictable as ever. Meditation changes the heart's capacity to accept life as it is. It teaches the heart to be more accommodating, not by beating it into submission, but by making it clear that accommodation is a gratifying choice.”

“It's going to be a hard time; we can count on that. But with all the misery, what opportunities to show mercy and brotherly love in our land, which has sinned so greatly against love. And patience! For now is the time when the victors, in the blind triumph of their victory, are likely to make mistakes. But that's not our concern, for we shall only be the sufferers, not the agents of suffering. What a power for peace will lie in our own powerlessness if we can only glimpse in it the sign of grace!”

“Why, I've been all over the world, I tell you, and fairly loafed and lolled in every conceivable sort of ease and luxury, but the Soul of me—the wild, restless, breathless, discontented soul of me—never sat down before in all its life—I say, until my frightened hand cuddled into his broken one. I tell you I don't pretend to explain it, I don't pretend to account for it; all I know is—that smothering there under all that horrible wreckage and everything—the instant my hand went home to his, the most absolute sense of serenity and contentment went over me.”
