Jean Vanier’s Daily Thought – Sunday,
26 January 2014 “Treasure Within”
We are all in danger of living
superficially, on the periphery of ourselves. We tend to react to immediate
stimuli, to demands from individuals who confront us and to the need for
'urgent' action; we tend to flee from the treasure hidden within us. When for
one reason or another, we become aware of it, or when it is touched by an
external event, we are nourished. We are nourished by everything that stirs
that which is deepest within us and brings it to consciousness.--Jean Vanier,
Community and Growth, page 168
