At our July meeting some of you asked me to send you the closing quote from Howard Thurman (Mysticism and the Experience of Love). Here it is:
All my life I have been seeking to validate, beyond all ambivalences and frustrations, the integrity of the inner life. I have sensed the urgency to find a way to act and react responsibly out of my own center. The cruel vicissitudes of the social situation in which I have been forced to live in American society have made it vital for me to seek resources…(so that I can) live under siege, with the equilibrium of peace, to prevent the springs of my being from being polluted by the bitter fruit of the climate of violence…to find a way to act and react out of my own center. I have sought a way to…become at home within by locating in (my) own spirit the trysting place where (I) and God may meet.
Take care,
Eileen
