The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought by Jean Vanier for Wednesday, 6 May 2015 "The Deep Wound"

We all carry our own deep wound, which is the wound of our loneliness. We find it hard to be alone and we try to flee from this in hyperactivity, through television and in a million other ways. Some people think their wound of loneliness will be healed if they come into community. But they will be disappointed. Eventually we need to realize that this wound is inherent in the human condition and what we have to do is walk with it instead of fleeing from it.[Jean Vanier,Community and Growth, page 140]
