The writings reflect the heart and mind of a wise, humble being who integrated silence and social activism in a remarkable unity. These short pieces can be read and meditated on one at a time. Beyond the man and his thought, Thurman was gifted at saying the obvious in an alluring craft of words; also, he placed himself among the common person - each of us - as having within both the heights and depths of humanity. Persons of varied religious or spiritual paths can find here inspiration and guidance on the Journey.

Quotes Brian Liked

Howard Thurman
“Again and again, I am aware that the Light not only illumines but it also burns.”
Howard Thurman, Meditations of the Heart

Howard Thurman
“In the face of all the uncertainties that surround any decision, the wise man acts in the light of his best judgment illumined by the integrity of his profoundest spiritual insights. Then the rest is in the hands of the future and in the mind of God. The possibility of error, of profound and terrible error, is at once the height and the depth of man’s freedom. For this, God be praised!”
Howard Thurman, Meditations of the Heart
