Befriending Quote by Rachel Naomi Remen

“Befriending life is less a matter of knowledge than a question of wisdom. It is not about mastering life, controlling it or exerting our will over it, no matter how well intentioned our will may be. Befriending life is more about harmlessness than it is about control.” quote by Rachel Naomi Remen — Download Open image
