“We cannot change the world by a new plan, project, or idea.
We cannot even change other people by our convictions, stories, advice and proposals,
but we can offer a space where people are encouraged to disarm themselves,
lay aside their occupations and preoccupations
and listen with attention and care
to the voices speaking in their own centre.”
~Henri Nouwen

When I looked him up, I realized I had one of his books – “The Wounded Healer”. It was one of those books that moved the deeper spaces within me.
