First, check out this article. I found it fascinating. What would happen if you had a virtuoso violinist play a $3.5 million dollar stradavarius in a subway station in a major American city? Would anyone notice? Would he make any money? And what does this say about North Americans and their ability to slow down and appreciate beauty? Read the article to find out!
Second, I have one more bit from Henri Nouwen (because so often the emails are so good that I just have to share them). This bit follows from what I posted yesterday.
Freedom Attracts
When you are interiorly free you call others to freedom, whether you know it or not. Freedom attracts wherever it appears. A free man or a free woman creates a space where others feel safe and want to dwell. Our world is so full of conditions, demands, requirements, and obligations that we often wonder what is expected of us. But when we meet a truly free person, there are no expectations, only an invitation to reach into ourselves and discover there our own freedom.
Where true inner freedom is, there is God. And where God is, there we want to be.
