"We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget that the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about."
I have been working with four and five year olds, and their genuine enthusiasm is so wonderful! They have the ability to fully enjoy the present moment, with a rapture that is exquisitely delightful to witness. It blesses me to be in their presence. Every day I spend with them I am spritually nourished by a rush of bliss from these children.
"The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another." [Thomas Merton]
"The eye with which I see God is the same with which God sees me. My eye and God's eye is one eye, and one sight, and one knowledge, and one love." [Meister Eckhart]
