“Sometimes, too, when their spiritual masters, such as confessors and superiors, do not approve of their spirit and behavior (for they are anxious that all they do shall be esteemed and praised), they consider that they do not understand them, or that, because they do not approve of this and comply with that, their confessors are themselves not spiritual. And so they immediately desire and contrive to find some one else who will fit in with their tastes; for as a rule they desire to speak of spiritual matters with those who they think will praise and esteem what they do, and they flee, as they would from death, from those who disabuse them in order to lead them into a safe road—sometimes they even harbour ill-will against them. Presuming thus, they are wont to resolve much and accomplish very little. Sometimes they are anxious that others shall realize how spiritual and devout they are, to which end they occasionally give outward evidence thereof in movements, sighs and other ceremonies; and at times they are apt to fall into certain ecstasies, in public rather than in secret, wherein the devil aids them, and they are pleased that this should be noticed, and are often eager that it should be noticed more.”

“Sometimes transformation begins with darkness.
Complete and total darkness.
Sometimes transformation feels like not being able to move— Not being able to breathe.
And it hurts.
When everything inside melts.
Moves.
Becomes different.
And sometimes, when we feel like this is the end—
that we have reached our capacity—
that there is no room to exist here—
in this moment. In this feeling. In this place—
We find strength to push just a little harder, to see the light.
To stretch our wings. To wake up. And realize that we have been changed.
And our souls are somehow more beautiful— in spite of it.
Because of it.
Keep pushing. You’re almost there.”
