“Soul or heart or a deep connectedness is always present, but we are not always in touch with it. Nourishing the soul is the process of drinking at the life stream, coming back to one’s true self, embracing the whole of one’s experience – good, bad, or ugly; painful or exalted; dull or boring… As you get older, a lifetime of not paying attention and not nourishing what is deepest and most important has profound consequences. The details and excitement of youth, work, ego gratification, the pursuit of name and fame, all fall away. What you’re left with is the fundamentals you have been practicing… You get more and more locked into that behavior.”
