Quote of the Day (Lyn Holley Doucet, on the Desert and God)

“Once the experience of wilderness and desolation moves us past our own small egos, we can truly learn what it means to love ourselves and others. Self-acceptance becomes possible as we understand our humble but vital place in God’s great plan. As we release our rigidity and perfectionism, we can open ourselves to the beauty all around us—in the natural world and in the amazing glory and diversity of the human race.”—Lyn Holley Doucet, Water From Stones: An Inner Journey (2001)
