“But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering for in every love lies the seed of our growth. The more we love, the closer we come to spiritual experience.”

“To love is to be in communion with the other and to discover in that other the speak of god.”

“That is why I write - to turn my sadness into longing, solitude into remembrance.”

“Perseverance is favorable”

“Traditional religious practices are important: they allow us to share with others the communal experience of adoration and prayer. But we must never forget that spiritual experience is above all a practical experience of love. And with love, there are no rules.”

so i literally picked this up at the library, read half of it, put it down, and then went home for winter break the next day so i will just have to go to the library again and read the other half lmao

We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules.

“True love is an act of total surrender”

What an interesting story. This far it’s been a story about a woman trying to find her both the love from her childhood and the feeling of loving the world she had in childhood. She’s doing this by taking risks on unplanned travel, this book also has a strange, ambiguous religious undertone that I really want to dig into. Great so far.
