provoking a conversation (within ourselves and with others)

"Strength invites discussion. Weakness invites manipulation." Rabbi David Hartman

"The first half of your life you write the text. The second half of life is when you write the commentary. You have to process what it all meant." Richard Rohr

"Many people seek community because they are afraid to be alone. Because they cannot stand loneliness, they are driven to seek the company of other people...Then they blame the community for what is really their own fault. The Christian community is not a spiritual sanitorium....Let the one who cannot be alone beware of community." Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together
