LONGING
"There are lovers content with longing, I'm not one of them." - Rumi (trans Coleman Barks)
- Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks
The divided life is a wounded life, and the soul keeps calling us to heal the wound. Ignore that call, and we find ourselves trying to numb our pain with an anesthetic of choice, be it substance abuse, overwork, consumerism, or mindless media noise.
- Parker J. Palmer
