Writing

“That which is most personal is most universal.”
--
Henri Nouwen, priest and author

That quote might be a paraphrase, but I’m taping it above my writing desk.

The book that stands out is called, "Life of the Beloved, Spiritual Living in a Secular World." I read it in graduate school during a course on illness and healing. It stuck with me. He's probably got a lot more since that time.
