Jean Shinoda Bolen

I had the opportunity to deliver babies... In each of these numinous moments, I knew that life had meaning; each experience was accompanied by an upwelling of gratitude and humility. These moments, which can be called an experience of the self, or archetype of meaning, are akin to the act of finally seeing the Holy Grail after a long quest... It is through these moments of grace and gratitude that we acquire a sense of meaning and a desire to live a meaningful life. The personal challenge is now.

And that good is that, to which if any man attain, he can desire nothing further... Happiness is a state which is made perfect by the union of all good things.

For there is implanted by nature in the minds of men a desire for the true good; but error leads them astray towards false goods by wrong paths.
