Growth & Community

Here is a quote I came across in Jean Vanier's book Growth & Community that made me think of you all & those magical months we spent together:

"When people start the journey towards wholeness, the pilgrimage to the promised land, there is a moment when their deepest being is touched...This experience can be like an explosion of life, a luminous moment, flodded with peace, tranquility, & light. Or it can be more humble - a touch of peace, a feeling of well-being, of being in 'one's place' & with people for whom one was made. The experience gives a new hope; it is possible to keep walking because we have glimpsed something beyond the material world & beyond human limitations. We have glimpsed the possibility of happiness. We have glimpsed 'heaven.'"

be well,
llw
