Your soul is much larger than you! You are just along for the ride. When you learn to live there, you will learn to live with everyone and everything else too.*
Richard Rohr

Suddenly it seemed like the most vivid part of reality was this: Souls waking up in the morning.  Souls riding the train to work.  Souls yearning for goodness.  Souls wounded by earlier traumas.  Souls in each and every person, illuminating them from inside, and occasionally enraptured within them, souls alive or numb in them; and with that came a feeling that I was connected by radio waves to all of them – some underlying soul of which we were all a piece.**
David Brooks

We are souls in progress:
All those moments of connection and
wonder – perhaps our
biggest human experience is when we conjunct with
someone or something without prejudice –
Are our attempts to grow into our souls.
