"The simplest truth about man is that he is a very strange being; almost in the sense of being a stranger on the earth." G.K. Chesterton

Only in Love
Only in love can I find You, my God.
In love the gates of my soul spring open, allowing me to breath a new air of freedom and forget my own petty self.
In love my whole being streams forth out of the rigid confines of narrowness and anxious self-assertion, which make me a prisoner of my own poverty and emptiness.
In love all the powers of my soul flow out toward You, wanting never more to return, but to lose themselves completely in You, since by Your love You are the inmost center of my heart, closer to me than I am to myself.
Karl Rahner - Encounters with Silence
