“There is in us an instinct for newness, for renewal, for a liberation of creative power.
We seek to awaken in ourselves a force which really changes our lives from within. And yet the same instinct tells us that this change is a recovery of that which is deepest, most original, most personal in ourselves.
To be born again is not to become somebody else, but to become ourselves.”
~ Thomas Merton
