Love this quote...it's what it means to be a writer and what it means to be someone who comes alongside others.
"It is my growing conviction that my life belongs to others just as much as it belongs to myself and that what is experienced as most unique often proves to be most solidly embedded in the common condition of being human." Henri Nouwen
"Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds...encouraging one another" Hebrews 10:24-25
This is a wonderful quote, and it's something I'll remember to keep in mind whenever I've feeling lonely or isolated. I think reading in general helps us to realize this as well. Different books have different stories and characters, but ultimately share common themes. Thanks for sharing :)
