“Nostalgia! I feel it even for someone who meant nothing to me, out of anxiety for the flight of time and a sickness bred of the mystery of life. If one of the faces I pass daily on the streets disappears, I feel sad; yet they meant nothing to me, other than being a symbol of all life.” IfsLifeFeelsFacesTimeMysterySadnessStreetsAnxietyDisappearNostalgiaFlightSymbolsSicknessMystery Of LifeI Feel Sad Book:The Book of Disquiet Source: The Book of Disquiet

“You cannot grow in the integrative dance of action and contemplation without a strong tolerance for ambiguity, an ability to allow, forgive, and contain a certain degree of anxiety, and a willingness to not know-and not even need to know. This ever widens and deepens your perspective. This is how you allow and encounter Mystery and move into the contemplative zone.” KnowsNeedsActionMovingCertainStrongGrowsAbilityMysteryPerspectiveDegreesAnxietyForgivingToleranceContemplationEncountersZoneWillingnessAmbiguityContemplative Author:Richard Rohr
“I don't know the meaning of life. I don't know why we are here. I think life is full of anxieties and fears and tears. It has a lot of grief in it, and it can be very grim. And I do not want to be the one who tries to tell somebody else what life is all about. To me it's a complete mystery.” ThinkingKnowsWantTryingLife IsGriefMysteryTearsAnxietyMeaning Of LifeGrimAnxiety And FearWhy We Are Here Author:Charles M. Schulz
