“While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation.” ~Maya Angelou

Spirituality

is not to be learned

by flight from the world,

by running away from things,

or by turning solitary and going apart from the world.

Rather,

we must learn an inner solitude

wherever or with whomever we may be.

We must learn to penetrate things

and find God there.

~from Meditations With Meister Eckhart by Matthew Fox
