About 10 years ago a friend showed me the brainpickings website (www.brainpickings.org) .  I must admit that I don’t always get time to read the weekly offerings, but whenever I do I am rewarded.  Sometimes I learn something new. Often I am made to think and regularly, I stand back and ponder the awesomeness of an insight.

Today I read the most wonderful quote from Henry Miller, who when writing of the wonder and mystery of the universe wrote,  “that we can know so much, recognize so much, dissect, do everything, and we can’t grasp it.”
 
 The website’s author, Maria Popova went on to say, “Paradoxically enough, the fragment of the universe we seem least equipped to grasp is the truth of who we ourselves are. Who are we, really, when we silence the ego’s shrill commands about who we should be, and simply listen to the song of life as it sings itself through us?”

”Listening to the song of life as it sings itself through us” is what Formation is all about. ,
