Invitations to Live

"We need to learn how to invite people to explore and try more of their possibilities than modal upbringing

seems to foster, so the invitation to live and grow is as fascinating as is the invitation to die."

 

 

"If a person carries within him the means whereby his body can destroy itself and if the environment carries

myriad means for destroying a person, the problem to be explained is not suicide or death, but, rather, living

in the face of so many physical pathogens and so many experiences of invitation to abandon life."
