Treasure

"Some people go through life with little curiosity about what really matters: how to lead spiritually and humanly fulfilling and significant lives. They may get bogged down into a kind of petty curiosity about others, the kind of curiosity fueled by gossip, but not the true passionate curiosity that drives human creativity. Identifying our passions and following them, no matter what others say, can inspire our curiosity. This is a central task of life."
(from [The Mystic Hours], p. 163, Wayne Teasdale, 2004. Brother Wayne Teasdale was a Catholic lay monk, who combined the traditions of Christianity and Hinduism in the way of Christian Sannyasa. He was a scholar and teacher [Ph.D. in theology from Fordham University] who worked at building common ground among religions until his death at the age of 59 in 2004.)
