In The Sabbath, Abraham Heschel wrote: "The higher goal of spiritual living is not to amass a wealth of information, but to face sacred moments.... A moment of insight is a fortune, transporting us beyond the confines of measured time." Whether or not you think of yourself as a writer, picking up a pen to capture a spiritual insight or to describe a sacred moment is an act of wisdom, a fortune invested.
“Thou takest the pen – and the lines dance. Thou takest the flute – and the notes shimmer.
Thou takest the brush – and the colors sing. So all things have meaning and beauty in that space beyond where Thou art.
How, then, can I hold anything back from Thee.”
— Dag Hammarskjöld, Markings
