Wise Words: The Power of Relationships

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves, we can RISK curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
— E.E. Cummings

Wise Words: On Self-Actualization

Erik Erikson on self-awareness and a resulting compassion. Made me think of Brennan Manning's words in "Abba's Child":

Experience has taught me that I connect best with others when I connect with the core of myself. When I allow God to liberate me from unhealthy dependence on people, I listen more attentively, love more unselfishly, and am more compassionate and playful. I take myself less seriously, become aware that the breath of the Father is on my face.
