If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I think I am living for, in detail, and ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for. Between these two answers you can determine the identity of any person. The better answer he has, the more of a person he is.


Thomas Merton (My argument with the Gestapo)


What do you live most deeply for? What is keeping you from living fully for the thing you want to live for?
