Hope is a quality of aliveness. It does not come at the end,
as the feeling that results from a happy outcome.
Rather, it lies at the beginning,
as a pulse of truth that sends us forth.
~Cynthia Bourgeault
what is not lost?
inquiry for today~ where do you feel the touch of mystery?
All our qualities- and particularly the most human ones like our need to be in connection, to be perceived as an individual, to be welcomed by other life and give life, in short, our need to love- spring forth from an organic “soil.” We are part of a web of meaningful inter-penetrations of being that are corporeal and psychologically real at the same time. Humans can only fully comprehend their own inwardness if they understand their existence as cultural beings who are existentially tied to the symbolic processes active inside nature.
~Andreas Weber
