Only when we have the courage to cross the road and look in one another's eyes can we see there that we are children of the same God and members of the same human family.
~ from BREAD FOR THE JOURNEY by Henri J.M. Nouwen
The time of busyness does not with me differ from the time of prayer, and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while serving persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees in prayer.
