“If there were a spiritual journey, it would be only a quarter inch long, though many miles deep . It would be a swerve into rhythm with your deeper nature and presence…You do not have to go away outside yourself to come into real conversation with your soul and with the mysteries of the spiritual world. The eternal is at home — within you.”

— John O’Donohue, Anam Cara
