"Praying, therefore, means being constantly ready to let go of your certainty and to move beyond where you now are. It demands that you leave your house and take to the road again and again, and always look forward to a new land for yourself and others. This is why praying demands poverty, that is, the readiness to live a life in which you have nothing to lose so that you can always begin afresh. Whenever you willingly choose this poverty you make yourself vulnerable but you also become free to see the world and let the world show itself in true form."
"With Open Hands"
Henri Nouwen
Henri always speaks to me. I'm leaving again...this time for a refugee camp. Pray with me.
