“The greatest spiritual practice is to transform love into service”
“Service without spirituality is exhausting and hopeless. But . . . spirituality without service is barren and selfish.”
“Only the broken heart has the ghost of a chance to grieve, to forgive, to long, to transform." Christina Baldwin, author of Life's Companion, Journal Writing as a Spiritual Practice, 1990. Used with author's permission”
“ethics is at the center of both spiritual practice and social transformation. Without a strong ethical foundation, we inevitably fall into contradictions-between means and ends, between our actions and our ideals." (p. 9)”
“Practice transforms a skill into an art”
“Practice is the hardest part of learning, and training is the essence of transformation.”
