Henri Nouwen slays me…

“Speak from that place in your heart where you are most yourself. Speak directly, simply, lovingly, gently and without any apologies. Tell us what you see and want us to see; tell us what you hear and want us to hear….Trust your own heart. The words will come. There is nothing to fear….”  ~  Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World
