No wonder some of our parents forgot to mention soul, as it is apt to distract from Serious Goals and Aspirations. It is as playful and illogical as a kitten, as watchful as God or a baby. It rubs its back lazily against trees. It stops and gasps at beauty and is bathed in it. And sometimes it begins to weep.*
Anne Lamott
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
Who taught you about soul?
I bet they were bigger than the
people around them, more
fun, more
inquisitive, more
effusive, more
in wonderment, more
loving, more
forgiving, more
more.
