Virginia Satir: Tenderness and Power


I try to help people... experience their spiritual connectedness by helping them get in touch with both their tenderness and their power. I don't think there's such a thing as instant intimacy or instant spirituality - these are things that evolve in us. To reach them... we need to see that... we are born to evolve. It is a growing thing - and there is no fear in it. Not that we haven't heard the message before. It's what Christ talked about, and the Buddha, and others. But in the past most of us... said, "They're beyond us, they're divine... we're nothing but humans, so we can't make the same connection." But now, we're beginning to know that we can.
