Gather everything, without hatred, jealousy, or rivalry. The light of peace and a fierce boldness manifest in you. The splendor of compassion and the glory of love shine through you. The desire to act and work, the passion to create and to restore yourself, the yearning for silence and for the inner shout of joy — these all band together in your spirit, and you become holy.
— Abraham Isaac Kook, Stepping Stones to Jewish Spiritual Living by James L. Mirel, Karen Bonnell Werth
