On Aging

To live is to be slowly born – Antoine de St Exupery

The purpose of human experience is to grow us into God. It is so we can melt into God as we go – to expand. We are either expanding or collapsing at every moment…It is a process.  The soul grows in us.  I don’t have the same soul I had at 6.  Now [age 78] I’ve a soul that is thicker, deeper, warmer, lighter, wiser – Sister Joan Chittister, Benedictine nun (on SuperSoulSunday)

    1. That makes total Sense! She seems such a wise and gentle soul. I just discovered her on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday show. If you are interested you can catch it online via the Super Soul Sunday Facebook page.
