Storming

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, storms, the deep within
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“That we go numb along the way is to be expected. Even the bravest among us, who give their lives to care for others, go numb with fatigue, when the heart can take in no more, when we need time to digest all we meet. Overloaded and overwhelmed, we start to pull back from the world, so we can internalize what the world keeps giving us. Perhaps the noblest private act is the unheralded effort to return: to open our hearts once they’ve closed, to open our souls once they’ve shied away, to soften our minds once they’ve been hardened by the storms of our day.”

—Mark Nepo, “Hearing the Cries of the World,” Parabola Magazine, Summer 2013
