The familiar and the habitual are so falsely reassuring, and most of us make their homes there permanently. The new is always by definition unfamiliar and untested, so God, life, destiny. suffering have to give us a push -- usually a big one -- or we will not go. Someone has to be clear to us that homes are not meant to be lived in -- but only to be moved out from.
-- Richard Rohr, Falling Upward
