The Giving Up Of Personality Traits, Well-established Patterns Of Behavior, Ideologies, And Even Whole Life Styles...these Are Major Forms Of Giving Up That Are Required If One Is To Travel Very Far On The Journey Of Life.

In Thinking About Miracles, I Believe That Our Frame Of Reference Has Been Too Dramatic. We Have Been Looking For The Burning Bush, The Parting Of The Sea, The Bellowing Voice From Heaven.

How Strange That We Should Ordinarily Feel Compelled To Hide Our Wounds When We Are All Wounded! Community Requires The Ability To Expose Our Wounds And Weaknesses To Our Fellow Creatures.
