QUOTE
Life only makes sense when you perceive it as mystery and it makes no sense to the conceptualizing mind.
Anthony de Mello (1931–1987) was an Indian Jesuit priest, psychotherapist, spiritual teacher, retreat leader, and author. He used storytelling, drawing from both East and West mystical traditions, to teach mindfulness-based practices called “awareness prayer.”
