Adult friendships require grace. People get busy, people are healing, people are growing. Don't read less contact as less love. When someone crosses your mind, send the text before you talk yourself out of it.

Erich Fromm treats idolatry as bowing to what our own hands have made until we are emptied into it. Jesus names the same captivity when He says no one can serve God and mammon (Matthew 6:24).

“It seems easier to be God than to love God, easier to control people than to love people, easier to own life than to love life, but Jesus calls us to embrace powerlessness and vulnerability.” — In the Name of Jesus

Once you let the clankers take the typing, what’s left is real engineering concerns, and user experience.

At the core of the human heart is a worship question: Who do I love, trust, fear, and listen to?

Cynics mistake what they reduce things to for what they really are.
The most unbelievable part of The Odyssey was the flashback of Anne Hathaway being impressed by her husband’s party trick of shooting an arrow through a bunch of axes for what I imagine was the nine thousandth time

As Lao-tzu said, the wise man hides his virtue and appears on the surface like a fool, for “true grace does not appear as grace, and thus is grace; false grace is so aware of itself as grace that it is not grace.” Zen produces thousands of Bodhisattvas who do not advertise themselves.

In the Fourth Gospel the first thing Jesus says is, “What are you seeking?”, and the first word of the risen Christ to Mary is, “Whom are you seeking?” The Gospel opens and reopens with a question addressed to human desire.
