I read Out of Solitude by Henri Nouwen last night. The book is small in size, yet large in conviction. I knocked it out in about 30 minutes; totally worth it.
This nagging self-doubt is at the basis of so much depression in the lives of many people who are struggling in our competitive society (24).
What we see, and like to see, is cure and change. But what we do not see and do not want to see is care: the participation in the pain, the solidarity in suffering, the sharing in the experience of brokenness (35).
Joy and sadness are born at the same time, both arising from such deep places in your heart that you can't find words to capture your complex emotions (54).
