“If we don’t really know how to attend to the reality that is our own inner turmoil, we shall fail in responding to the needs of someone else. And the desert literature suggests pretty consistently that excessive harshness—readiness to judge and prescribe—normally has its roots in that kind of inattention to ourselves.”

— Rowan Williams, Silence and Honey Cakes
