When you take the time to draw on
your listening-imagination, you will begin to hear this gentle voice at
the heart of your life. It is deeper and surer than all the other voices
of disappointment, unease, self-criticism and bleakness. All holiness
is about learning to hear the voice of your own soul. It is always there
and the more deeply you learn to listen, the greater surprises and
discoveries that will unfold.
To enter into the gentleness of your
own soul changes the tone and quality of your life. Your life is no
longer consumed by hunger for the next event, experience or achievement.
You learn to come down from the treadmill and walk on the earth. You
gain a new respect for yourself and others and you learn to see how
wonderfully precious this one life is. You begin to see through the
enchanting veils of illusion that you had taken for reality. You no
longer squander yourself on things and situations that deplete your
essence. You know now that your true source is not outside you. Your
soul is your true source and a new energy and passion awakens in you.
