no room for the soul
We expect too much, we consume too much, and we contribute too little.
We give ourselves over to ourselves.
We become engorged with ourselves and, as a result,
there is no room left for the stripped down, stark, and simple furniture of the soul.
-- Sr. Joan Chittister, O.S.B. The Rule of Benedict: Insights for the Ages
