Chapter 3: When Way Closes
“Have faith”, they said, “and way will open.”
“We will become better not by trying to fill the pothole in our souls but by knowing them so well that we can avoid falling into them.”
Turn around to discover the world!
“There is as much guidance in way that closes behind us as there is in way that opens ahead of us. The opening may reveal our potentials while the closing may reveal our limits – two sides of the same coin, the coin called identity.”
“All we need to do is stop pounding on the door that just closed, turn around – which puts the door behind us – and welcome the largeness of life that now lies open to our souls. The door that closed kept us from entering a room, but what now lies before us is the rest of reality.”
“We must take the no of the way that closes and find the guidance it has to offer – and take the yes of the way that opens and respond with the yes of our lives.”
