A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.
Partnering with God, we cease to see a partitioned world of buffered people.

At the very core saying “yes” to God is about becoming a whole of paradoxically interdependent parts.
