“This, I believe, may be the heart of the message. To let go of the stuff of our lives, be it money, privilege, our beliefs, or whatever else that prompts us to feel that it is acceptable to put people out of our hearts and simply walk away. To let go of the idea that spirituality is about what we do with our individual lives, or even how best to shelter our lives from “unwanted influences.” To let go of any illusions we harbor that the spiritual life is about anything other than learning to  travel and struggle and love and depend on one another, together, no matter how messy it gets.”
