The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richomond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought by Jean Vanier for Sunday, 31 May 2015 "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]
