Richard Rohr

"The journey to happiness involves finding the courage to go deep into ourselves and taking responsability for what's there: all of it. "

- Richard Rohr

Well, ain't that a hard one. At any point in life we may be pushed around by opinions on what would make us happy, opinions that are so loud in our heads we can't hear ourselves. It's difficult, then, to stop and take ourselves outside the world of those who love us or simply live around us and take the time to listen to our silence. When all other noise ceases the steady beat of our passions and joys become audible. But we have to get quiet first. And often, there isn't a reason for them.
