“When we tug at a single thing in nature, we find it attached to the rest of the world.”

“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”

“Pull a thread here and you’ll find it’s attached to the rest of the world.”

“We don't attach to people or to things; we attach to uninvestigated concepts that we believe to tbe true in the moment.”

“When we lose the world, we find ourselves. When we lose ourselves, we find God. When we lose God, we find liberation.The trick is to learn to lose.”

“Rest is a decision we make. Rest is choosing to do nothing when we have too much to do, slowing down when we feel pressure to go faster, stopping instead of starting. Rest is listening to our weariness and responding to our tiredness, not to what is making us tired. Rest is what happens when we say one simple word: "No!" Rest is the ultimate humiliation because in order to rest, we must admit we are not necessary, that the world can get along without us, that God's work does not depend on us. Once we understand how unnecessary we are, only then might we find the right reasons to say yes. Only then might we find the right reasons to decide to be with Jesus instead of working for him. Only then might we have the courage to take a nap with Jesus.”
