And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our own feet, and learn to be at home.
The life of faith isn't meant for tourists. It's meant for pilgrims.
If you are on an honest journey to find yourself, you'll find God.
I think of myself as a highly spiritual person, but without - I was never really given a religion or a religious experience or a community to sort of subscribe to.
I believe that a worthwhile life is defined by a kind of spiritual journey and a sense of obligation.
Creation is not a hurdle on the road to God, it is the road itself.
For in their hearts doth Nature stir them so Then people long on pilgrimage to go And palmers to be seeking foreign strands To distant shrines renowned in sundry lands.
There's a heaven on earth that so few ever find, though the map's in your soul and the road's in your mind
Faith is not the clinging to a shrine but an endless pilgrimage of the heart. Audacious longing, burning songs, daring thoughts, an impulse overwhelming the heart, usurping the mind--these are all a drive towards serving Him who rings our hearts like a bell. It is as if He were waiting to enter our empty, perishing lives.
The challenge of our time is to find a journey worthy of your heart and your soul.
Faith is not the clinging to a shrine but an endless pilgrimage of the heart.
