I went to the Quaker Meeting this morning, which I used to do regularly, and have been trying recently to start doing again, with limited success.
I am really glad that I was there today, though, because one of the members said something that I really needed to hear:
He said something to the effect that Quakers talk a lot about the Light Within, but that he was much more concerned with the Light that forms between people, if they allow it to. He said this was one of the most precious, even miraculous aspects of being human, and tragically all too vulnerable. By comparison with the vulnerability of human relations, the Light Within is relatively easy to nurture and to heal.
As I said, that was something I needed to hear.
