Spirituality . . .

 



Parker J. Palmer in A Hidden Wholeness

The soul is like a wild animal — tough, resilient, savvy, 
self-sufficient  and yet exceedingly shy. If we want to see 
a wild animal, the last thing we should do is to go crashing 
through the woods, shouting for the creature to come out. 
But if we are willing to walk quietly into the woods and sit 
silently for an hour or two at the base of a tree, the creature 
we are waiting for may well emerge, and out of the corner of 
an eye we will catch a glimpse of the precious wildness we seek.
