My sense is that you can never teach anybody anything, or change anybody in ways that they don't already have in mind.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Big messages come in small packages. All it may take to restore someone's trust in life may be returning a lost earring or a dropped glove.
Rachel Naomi Remen
The wisdom in the story of the most educated and powerful person is often not greater than the wisdom in the story of a child, and the life of a child can teach us as much as the life of a sage.
Rachel Naomi Remen
I think that people get experiences, and out of those experiences come meaning and ideas. It's like watching a rose bush grow.
Rachel Naomi Remen
It is not that we have a soul, but that we are a soul.
Rachel Naomi Remen
The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen.
Rachel Naomi Remen
I think ideas only lead to change for intellectual people and not even them. What really leads to change is experience. Life itself is the teacher.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Every great loss demands that we choose life again. We need to grieve in order to do this. The pain we have not grieved over will always stand between us and life. When we don't grieve, a part of us becomes caught in the past like Lot's wife who, because she looked back, was turned into a pillar of salt.
Rachel Naomi Remen
We are all born to be a blessing.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Fear is the friction in all transitions.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Perhaps losing integrity with yourself is the greatest stress of all, far more hurtful to us than competition, time pressure, or lack of respect. Our vitality is rooted in our integrity. When we do not live in one piece, our life force becomes divided. Becoming separated from our authentic values may weaken us.
Rachel Naomi Remen
If you carry someone else's fears and live by someone else's values, you may find that you have lived their lives.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Sooner or later we will come to the edge of all that we can control and find life, waiting there for us.
Rachel Naomi Remen
The spiritual is inclusive. It is the deepest sense of belonging and participation.We all participate in the spiritual at all times, whether we know it or not.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are.
Rachel Naomi Remen
In the silence of listening, you can know yourself in everyone, the unseen singing softly to itself and to you.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Grieving allows us to heal, to remember with love rather than pain. It is a sorting process. One by one you let go of the things that are gone and you mourn for them. One by one you take hold of the things that have become a part of who you are and build again.
Rachel Naomi Remen
We may need to let go of our beliefs and ideas about life in order to have life.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Life is as complex as we are. Sometimes our vulnerability is our strength, our fear develops our courage, and our woundedness is the road to our integrity. It is not an either/or world.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention
