"To be courageous is not necessarily to go anywhere or do anything, except to make conscious those things we already feel deeply and then to live through the unending vulnerabilities of those consequences."
—David Whyte
If we don't learn to mythologize our lives, inevitably we will pathologize them.
Richard Rohr
Rituals are characterized by repetition. Repetition differs from routine in its capacity to create intensity.

“A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.”
— William G.T. Shedd
