“It is not your responsibility to finish the work of perfecting the world, but you are not free to desist from it either.”
― Heartwood: The Art of Living with the End in Mind
― Heartwood: The Art of Living with the End in Mind
“The French author Jules Renard once wrote: If I had my life to live over again, I would ask that not a thing be changed, but that my eyes be opened wider. Wider, I would add, to every reality—not just to the happiness but to every heartache too.”
― Heartwood: The Art of Living with the End in Mind
― Heartwood: The Art of Living with the End in Mind
“In the perfect ecology of a tree, the dead become the heart of the living, and the living nourish the enduring essence of the dead.”
― Heartwood: The Art of Living with the End in Mind
― Heartwood: The Art of Living with the End in Mind
“We can do extraordinary things when we lead with love.”
― Heartwood: The Art of Living with the End in Mind
― Heartwood: The Art of Living with the End in Mind
“My time in seminary confirmed what I had learned about loss and life: that living with the end in mind can be an ennobling endeavor. That the more we embrace dying, the more we embrace living. That life was never meant to be about our self-interests but about being a source of love for others. That our presence is far more important than any technical know-how we may possess about religion or spirituality. That compassion and generosity of spirit will prevail over rigid thoughts and beliefs every single time. That sitting with discomfort can be far more intimate and helpful than trying to fix that which is unfixable. And that when something can be remedied, we must not allow ourselves to become passive but rather step in and fill the void. All of this is the essence of reverence.”
