INNER/OUTER

"One of the truths we know is that we live in an enchanted universe. The up-there and down-here mingle, the earthly and the heavenly mirror each other. We have no choice but to continue to redeem the world, to save the world from our own selves. We are, ironically, the cause of the breaking and just might be the channel of healing. To make the world whole, we ourselves have to become healed, become whole. Our well-being and the world being well are linked together.

To tend to our own inner life is not selfishness; it is wisdom, it is essential, and it is unavoidable."

— Omid Safi, "Tending to Our Inner Life to Make the World Whole"
