"When your soul awakens,
you begin to truly inherit your life.

You leave the kingdom of fake surfaces,
repetitive talk and weary roles
and slip deeper into the true adventure of who you are
and who you are called to become.

The greatest friend of the soul is the unknown.
Yet we are afraid of the unknown
because it lies outside our vision and our control.

We avoid it or quell it by filtering it
through our protective barriers
of domestication and control.

The normal way never leads home."
John O'Donohue
