a book that gives me words.
words from rabbi kula:
*great wisdom traditions are born of this desire for answers, this urge to make sense out of chaos and discover what really matters in life.
*every answer to our important questions leads to a new important question.
*the search for truth is not about letting go; it's about going deeper. the goal is not reaching a single realization, but living the process of realizing again and again.
*when we both hold and question our truths we become life long learners rather than absolute knowers- as well as more interesting and much easier people to be with.
*when we think we've found the final truth we're a little less alive, a little less awake, and the world itself is diminished.
*relationships are a constant dialectic between faith and doubt.
*the more we allow our selves to unfold, the less likely we are to unravel.
*the ability to live with seeming contradictions and the ambivalence and tension these contradictions create is what gives rise to wisdom. the messes are the point.
I am only on chapter 2!
