Though we do not wholly believe it yet, the interior life is a real life, and the intangible dreams of people have a tangible effect on the world.
James Baldwin (1924-1987), Nobody Knows My Name, 1961
“I just love that quote because it’s the theme that I’ve been exploring. I’ve been grappling with how our contemplative practices relate to our work for social change in the world and I felt very inspired to learn that James Baldwin was thinking about that as well and recognizing that our inner life has power to affect our outer world. I know that that’s a key theme for New Dimensions and your community of listeners.”
