Ruah Bull - Spiritual Director

 To start from the self and try to understand all things is delusion. To let the self be awakened by all things is enlightenment.

 Throughout my whole life, during every minute of it the world has been gradually lighting up and blazing before my eyes until it has come to surround me, entirely lit up from within.

 There are simply no answers to some of  the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.

 I love the mountain peak but I know also its roiling foothills half-invisible in mist and fog. The Seafarer gets up long before dawn to read. His soul is a whale feeding on the Holy Word. The soul who loves the peak also inhales the deep breath rising from the mountain buried in mist.

  What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from Ourselves?
