Care of the Soul

"Care of the soul speaks to the longing we feel and to the symptoms that drive us crazy, but it is not a path away from shadow or death.   A soulful personality is complicated is complicated, multifaceted, and shaped by both pain and pleasure, success and failure.   Life lived soulfully is not without its moments of darkness and periods foolishness.   Dropping the salvation fantasy frees us up to the possibility of self-knowledge and self-acceptance, which are the very foundations of soul."    Thomas Moore
