make room, o heart of mine.


 from here.

"there seems to be a mountain of obstacles preventing people from being where their hearts want to be. the astonishing thing is that the battle for survival has become so 'normal' that few people really believe that it can be different. oh how important, discipline, community, prayer, silence, caring presence, simple listening, adoration, and deep, lasting faithful friendship. we all want it so much, and still the powers suggesting that all of that is fantasy are enormous. but we have to replace the battle for power with the battle to create space for the spirit." -henri nouwen

 thoughts for today. // song that is burning in my heart.

  1. Wow. I love that quote. I've never heard of that band, but I love this song so much. I love the lines "you provide the fire and I'll provide the sacrifice" and "Love of God overflow, permeate all my soul."
