“If we become addicted to the external, our interiority will haunt us. We will become hungry with a hunger no image, person or deed can still. 

To be wholesome, we must remain truthful to our vulnerable complexity. 

In order to keep our balance, we need to hold the interior and exterior, visible and invisible, known and unknown, temporal and eternal, ancient and new together. No one else can undertake this task for you. You are the one and the only threshold of an inner world.

This wholesomeness is holiness. To be holy is to be natural, to befriend worlds that come to balance in you. Behind the façade of image and distraction, each person is…an inner artist who carries and shapes a unique world.”
