"I thought I could describe a state; make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, hoever, turns out to be not a state but a process."

Previous Quote

A bulging portfolio of spiritual experiences matters little if it does not have the power to sustain us through the inevitable moments of grief, loss, and change. Knowledge and achievements matter little if we do not yet know how to touch the heart of another and be touched. Wisdom is alive only as long as it is lived, understanding is liberating only as long as it is applied.

— Jack Kornfield
