I try to be available for life to happen to me. We're in this life, and if you're not available, the sort of ordinary time goes past and you didn’t live it. But if you're available, life gets huge. You're really living it.
The writer must wade into life as into the sea, but only up to the navel.
People no longer try to decipher the mystery of life but choose instead to be a part of it.
I try to be alert and available. I try to be available for life to happen to me.
Life is much more interesting when you make a little bit of effort.
We need not wait for the world to become more mystical; the world is mystical. Our problem is not that the world lacks magic; our problem is that we don't believe in its magic. We do not show up fully for life, and then wonder why life is not showing up more fully for us.
Dear young people, please, don’t be observers of life, but get involved. Jesus did not remain an observer, but he immersed himself. Don’t be observers, but immerse yourself in the reality of life, as Jesus did.
You're either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you're going to be a voyeur. And I'm not a voyeur.
To live is to experience things, not sit around pondering the meaning of life.
