A new author for me to read is Richard Rohr. He is one of the leading contemporary Christian mystics of our day. Here are some of the beautiful insights from his book "Immortal Diamond":
1. The goodness of God fills all the gaps of the universe.
2. Your soul is who you are in god and who God is in you.
3. Contemplation is the ultimate recovery, because it is from the universal addiction to our preferred way of thinking.
4. The opposite of contemplation is not action---it is reaction.
5. God is resurrecting everything all the time.
6. Love is what we already are and what draws us to the fullness of our own being.
7. Intimacy is the only gateway into the temple of human or divine love.
8. Our failures and insufficiency are what leads us into a larger life and love.
