What We Need

Human beings need physical nourishment; otherwise they have no energy. But they also need to nourish their hearts, their spirits and their intellects. The journey towards deepening our identity and the quality of our openness to others is long. Any one of us can sink into discouragement and apathy, closing in on ourselves, our anger and frustration, and seeking compensations which can close us up even more. We need nourishment to keep our hearts open. We need to develop our taste for truth.
- Jean Vanier, Our Journey Home, p. 150
