The door to knowledge began to open when I agreed to listen to myself, to hear myself, to let myself be taught by the One who always offers me his hand. Each one of us is unique and incomparable: Why do we never stop comparing what is incomparable? We have many illusions about ourselves: Why do we force ourselves to become those illusions that we can never be?
Awakening to ourselves takes place in the wisdom of time. This core within us—unique, sacred—never stops working on us, in complete freedom. It guides our moral and spiritual growth. It is from this fragile, vulnerable source, blown about by the storms of life, that we must choose to lift ourselves up.
The path toward truth is painful. Truth does not explain or justify itself: it is, or it is not. It is the only path toward ourselves, where You wait for us.
You are there in how I look at people, in my gestures, in every trembling of my being.
Your light shines forth from my suffering. Your joy in me is only joy if it calls out the joy in other people.
