Seung Sahn, Only Don't Know
Buddha said that someone who brushes against you in the street does this as a result of sharing karma with you for five hundred lifetimes. So our ... practicing, eating, and living together mean that we have met and continued to meet for many, many lifetimes — strong karma together. And this will not stop in the future. We will meet again and again, into infinite time.
Sharing karma with you for five hundred lifetimes
Henri J. M. Nouwen, Set Your Hearts on the Greatest Gift
Life is a long journey of preparation, of preparing oneself to truly die for others. It is a series of little deaths in which we are asked to move increasingly from clinging to others to living for them.

Frederick Buechner, Telling Secrets
My story is important not because it is mine, God knows, but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances are you will recognize that in many ways it is also yours. [LSTP QUOTE ENDS HERE] Maybe nothing is more important than that we keep track, you and I, of these stories of who we are and where we have come from and the people we have met along the way because it is precisely through these stories in all their particularity, as I have long believed and often said, that God makes himself known to each of us most powerfully and personally. If this is true, it means that to lose track of our stories is to be profoundly impoverished not only humanly but also spiritually.
My story is important
Rachel Naomi Remen, Kitchen Table Wisdom
Everybody is a story. When I was a child, people sat around kitchen tables and told their stories. We don't do that so much anymore. Sitting around the table telling stories is not just a way of passing time. It is the way the wisdom gets passed along. The stuff that helps us to live a life worth remembering. Despite the awesome powers of technology many of us still do not live very well. We may need to listen to each other's stories once again.
Everybody is a story
Dorothy Day, The Soul of Politics
The mystery of the poor is this: That they are Jesus, and what you do for them you do for Him. It is the only way we have of knowing and believing in our love. The mystery of poverty is that by sharing in it, making ourselves poor and giving to others, we increase our knowledge of and belief in love.

Wayne Teasdale, A Monk in the World
In a sense, to pursue an intermystical spiritual life is to be a real pioneer of the Spirit. It is not an easy path to travel, because not many maps exist yet, and many people fear losing their way, but it yields rich deposits of wisdom along the way. If we trust, keep moving on, and share our experiences with others, while seeking their advice, we will be fine.
Pursuing the intermystical spiritual life
Dorothy Day, Jacob's Hip
If we all carry a little of the burden, it will be lightened. If we share in the suffering of the world, then some will not have to endure so heavy an affliction. It evens out.
If we all carry a little of the burden
Elaine MacInnes, Light Sitting in Light
"The son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees the Father doing; and whatever the Father does, the Son does too" (John 5:19)
And that fatherhood is activity as shared by all the family. Then and only then can be truly practice solicitous solidarity with all our other earth companions.
Fatherhood is activity as shared by all the family.
Bob Dylan, Passionate Presence
Time is a jet plane; it moves too fast. Ah, but what a shame that all we've shared can't last.
