“Your conflicts, all the difficult things, the problematic situations in your life are not chance or haphazard. They are actually yours. They are specifically yours, designed specifically for you by a part of you that loves you more than anything else. The part of you that loves you more than anything else has created roadblocks to lead you to yourself. You are not going in the right direction unless there is something pricking you in the side, telling you, “Look here!

What else can it do? That is its purpose.”

Almost pure time, empty successiveness.”

Let our soul's innermost desire and need flow in silence, gratitude and humble petition.
