Philip Gulley Quotes

• I wonder if gratefulness is the bridge from sorrow to joy, spanning the chasm of our anxious striving. Freed from the burden of unbridled desires, we can enjoy what we have, celebrate what we've attained, and appreciate the familiar. For if we can't be happy now, we'll likely not be happy when.

• Pero me parece que la espiritualidad, al responder a la pregunta "¿Por qué debo ser bueno? ¿Por qué debo preocuparme por los demás?", dice: "Porque es la mejor manera de vivir, la más satisfactoria". Eres bueno, amable y cariñoso porque es lo correcto, aunque a veces sea difícil. Cumple la ley más elevada: tratar a los demás como queremos que nos traten.

• El dolor crudo nos alarma. Nos recuerda que la vida no es tan ordenada como esperábamos. Exigimos que el dolor se calme antes de arrastrarlo a la mesa del silencio. Queremos que el dolor se quede en su pequeña sección, queremos evitar que se derrame sobre las otras partes de la vida. Como las bandejas del almuerzo. Mantener el dolor en su propio compartimento.
