"When I quit being religious... it was a quit of the mind; my mind went to work on the religious stories of my childhood, judged them, and found them illogical. But my heart has been wandering along for many years complaining: What am I supposed to do with my love and my longing? What am I supposed to do with all I know about surrender and connection?"

—Mary Rose O'Reilley,
The Love of Impermanent Things
