Frederick Buechner Quotes About Reality

• Tu vida y mi vida fluyen la una en la otra como la ola fluye en la ola, y a menos que haya paz, alegría y libertad para ti, no puede haber verdadera paz, alegría o libertad para mí. Ver la realidad -no como esperamos que sea, sino como es- es ver que, a menos que vivamos el uno para el otro y en el otro y a través del otro, no vivimos realmente de manera muy satisfactoria; que sólo puede haber verdadera vida allí donde realmente hay, precisamente en este sentido, amor.

  Frederick Buechner

  Amor, Vida, Romántico

• She was right that reality can be harsh and that you shut your eyes to it only at your peril because if you do not face up to the enemy in all his dark power, then the enemy will come up from behind some dark day and destoy you while you are facing the other way.

• The trouble with steeling yourself against the harshness of reality is that the same steel that secures your life against being destroyed secures your life also against being opened up and transformed by the holy power that life itself comes from. You can survive on your own. You can grow strong on your own. You can even prevail on your own. But you cannot become human on your own.

  Strong, Reality, Steel

• I don't know that it makes any difference whether it's at this time or a hundred years before or a hundred years later. I think always it's a matter of simply listen[ing] to what is going on around you and in your own experience. Try to understand what's happening, or if not to understand it, at least to appreciate the reality of it.

• No soy religioso en el sentido de que no suscribo ningún dogma religioso concreto. No voy a la iglesia. No leo la Biblia. Pero creo que la palabra "Espíritu" con mayúscula apunta a una realidad última a la que entrego mi corazón.
