If I am what I have and if I lose what I have who then am I?
Erich Fromm


Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: ‘Whatever you can do (not wish) or dream you can (not wish), begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!'. W. H. Murray in The Scottish Himalaya Expedition, 1951

The question is raised of what is the way that a person can follow in seeking truth and unity (with God). The answer is given that this way is indeed like a road, but not a road that one walks upon. It is a road that one is in the act of constructing. Laboriously you roll the stones into place. You press them down. You do it one stone at a time and after a while you find that you have moved several yards forward. Working you have been on the way. The road has come into being beneath your feet… Martin Buber
