From "Let Your Life Speak" by Parker Palmer:

"As May Sarton reminds us, the pilgrimage toward true self will take "time, many years and places." The world needs people with the patience and the passion to make that pigrimage not only for their own sake but also as a social and political act. The world still waits for the truth that will set us free--my truth, your truth, our truth--the truth that was seeded in the earth when each of us arrived here formed in the image of God. Cultivating that truth, I believe, is the authentic vocation of every human being."

JBB recommended that book a while ago, and Rachel loaned it to me months ago. I'm just now reading it. What a graceful book.
