“For most of us the days are not filled with events that we label “important.” The content and quality of our lives is determined by how we respond to the ordinary, and this depend on whether or not we have taken the time to nourish an inner life. The more pressed we are for time the more essential it is to make recollection a part of our day.”
–Elizabeth O’Connor, Journey Inward, Journey Outward (1968), p. 18
