More quotes by Mark Matousek
When we set our hearts on knowing the truth, we assist one another in the long tender work of awakening. When the story is right, and the people we love are waiting to listen, we tell each other how to live.
Mark Matousek
You don't actually get over thingsā¦ you incorporate them. They become part of everything you are. I don't mean that you walk about crying all the time. But you change.
Mark Matousek
Whatever it takes to break your heart and wake you up is grace.
Mark Matousek
The more we remember that life is a gift-that everything changes, we're not in control-the stronger our sense of well-being becomes.
