We need not avoid our active lives, but simply bring to them a new vision and shift of gravity. for in the center we are rooted in god's love. in such a place there is no need for striving and impatience and dashing about seeking approval.

About This Quote

We all know that we need to stop and rest. We also know that we need to work at our jobs and step up to the plate and be the best that we can be. All of this, however, is hard for us because we are so busy and we do not have the time to take care of ourselves. When we take time off and just relax and enjoy our lives, we often come back to work completely refreshed. We feel alive again and ready to tackle whatever task comes our way.
