The world of the spirit is real

“Over-busyness is one of the diseases that has infected Quakerism, not only here, but throughout the Society of Friends… Too many of us too often find ourselves caught in a merry-go-round of activities and responsibilities, and we do not take adequate time to get centered or sufficient time to nurture ourselves… The world of the spirit is real, and our journey into wholeness has to include time for us to be consciously aware of the life of our spirits.

— Marty Walton, 1994
Former General Secretary for Friends General Conference
