“In our culture of constant access and nonstop media, nothing feels more like a curse from God than time in the wilderness. To be obscure, to be off the beaten path, to be in the wilderness feels like abandonment. It seems more like exile than a vacation. To be so far off of everyoneâ€™s radar that the world might forget about us for a while? Thatâ€™s almost akin to deathâ€¦[But] far from being punishment, judgment, or a curse, the wilderness is a gift. Itâ€™s where we can experience the primal delight of being fully known and delighted in by God.”

“If you know but do not do, you are a very unhappy person indeed.”
