“I want to be more loving in my heart! It is often easy to see it with my mind, and give assent to the thought of being loving. But I want to be more loving in my heart! So I must ease the tension in my heart that ejects the sharp barb, the stinging word. I want to be more loving in my heart so that, through both unconscious awareness and through deliberate intent, I shall be a kind, gracious human being. I want to be more loving in my heart!”
-Howard Thurman, For the Inward Journey
