Rachel Naomi Remen
The worst thing that happens in life is not death. The worst thing would be to miss it. . . . I think the great danger in life is not showing up.
Rachel Naomi Remen
It is not that we have a soul, but that we are a soul.

Rachel Naomi Remen
Belief traps or frees us.
Rachel Naomi Remen
The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.
Rachel Naomi Remen
