Have always wanted to "connect" to my spiritual self for the longest time, have been thinking about meditations, reading up on Buddhism, but just never got down to it. Spirituality is a very important part of Wholesomeness, yet is something that I have not actively pursued. Had a "spiritual connection" yesterday though... something prompted me to get this book from the shelf: Awakening the Buddhist Heart. There was this quote from the book that attracted my attention:
Nothing worth doing is completed
In one lifetime,
Therefore we must be saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful makes
Complete sense
In any context of history,
Therefore we must be saved by faith.
Nothing we do, no matter how virtuous,
Can be accomplished alone.
Therefore we must be saved by love.
- Reinhold Niebuhr
Cheem, not really sure how to interpret this passage. Will finish the book and see if there is any relevation.
