There is a part of you that is Love itself, and that is what we must fall into. It is already there. Once you move your identity to that level of deep inner contentment, you will realize you are drawing upon a Life that is much larger than your own and from a deeper abundance.

We are usually on bended knee before laws or angrily reacting against them, both immature responses.
Richard Rohr
Image
Ancients knew that you need guidance, patronage and protection as you move from one place or state to another, whenever you cross a bridge. You had better know what you are doing when you leave one group or place to join another.

Image
I think it's important to remember that by the second half of our lives, we are meant to see in wholes, and no longer just in parts.

Nature is the one song of praise that never stops singing.

Image
You have to find some way to not become a cynical or negative person, a person who keeps walking around and opening your eyes in the outside world but inside you close down, a person who stops expecting tomorrow to be better than today.
Richard Rohr
Image
Those who are not true leaders will just affirm people at their own immature level.
Richard Rohr
Image
People wanted to me to describe more about what I call the container, and then describe what the second half of life feels like.
Richard Rohr
Image
The true mystic is always both humble and compassionate, for she knows that she does not know.

God comes to you disguised as your life.
Richard Rohr
Image
When we can see the image of God where we don't want to see the image of God, then we see with eyes not our own.
Richard Rohr
Image
The great and merciful surprise is that we come to God, not by doing it right, but by doing it wrong.
Richard Rohr
Image
The most amazing fact about Jesus, unlike almost any other religious founder, is that he found God in disorder and imperfection—and told us that we must do the same or we would never be content on this earth.
Richard Rohr
Image
Sacramental listening reminds us that current suffering isn't the end of the story. God loves us deeply, and the vision for the future is vaster and more magnificent than we could ever imagine. In these moments of profound human presence, we are awakened to the divine presence and see that the kingdom of God is coming and yet is already here.

Once you experience being loved when you are unworthy, being forgiven when you did something wrong, that moves you into non-dual thinking. You move from what I call meritocracy, quid pro quo thinking, to the huge ocean of grace, where you stop counting or calculating.
