Quotes 21: Richard Wagamese

"Teachings come from everywhere when you open yourself to them. That's the trick of it, really. Open yourself to everything, and everything opens itself to you." 

–– Richard Wagamese (1955-2017), Canadian Ojibway author

Source: Richard Wagamese. Embers: One Ojibway's Meditations. Madeira Park, British Columbia: Douglas and McIntyre (2013) Ltd., 2016, p. 58.

I read this book five times during the spring and summer of pandemic lockdown 2020 and I am grateful for Wagamese's wisdom to accompany me during a bewildering time.
