“May He support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done! Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last.” WorldGivingMayLongDoneLastsLife IsSupportHolySafeMercyBusyEveningShadeFeverRest And PeaceEvening Prayer Author:John Henry Newman

“When you approach spirituality as an adventure of being alive, you start as you would any adventure--with a sense of mystery and not-knowing. Instead of searching for answers that make you feel safe, you set out into the vastness of life and death, with a willingness to continually grow. You open up to the possibility that your ordinary life is an extraordinary adventure, and that your joys and sorrows have meaning. Spiritual practice becomes your rudder, offering direction and insight and discretion as you venture into the unknown.” FeelsSpiritualLife IsJoySpiritualityGrowsAnswersPracticeKnowingAliveMysteryPossibilityAdventureSorrowSafeApproachOrdinaryExtraordinaryInsightLife And DeathWillingnessOfferingNot KnowingVentureDiscretionOrdinary LifeVastnessSpiritual PracticeJoys And SorrowsRudders Book:The Seeker's Guide: Making Your Life a Spiritual Adventure Source: The Seeker's Guide: Making Your Life a Spiritual Adventure
“A life without an objective is much like a ship at sea with no port in mind. It drifts with the waves or storms, or with the whim of the captain. They are tempted to ask, amidst the battles of life, "Is the struggle worth-while?" That attitude lessens the joy of living. They who say that there is no purpose in life are not unhappy, but become dangerous to themselves and others, for they have no safe guide for their actions. Indeed, life has not objective save physical satisfactions, it is empty and valueless.” MindActionLife IsJoyPurposeAsksAttitudeStruggleSeaDangerousBattleSafeEmptyWaveSatisfactionStormGuidesUnhappyObjectivesShipsPurpose Of LifeCaptainsTemptedPortWhimJoy Of LivingShips At SeaValuelessBattle Of Life Author:John Andreas Widtsoe
