pilgrimage of the heart

“Faith is not the clinging to a shrine but an endless pilgrimage of the heart.  Audacious longings, burning songs, daring thoughts, an impulse overwhelming the heart, usurping the mind- these are all a drive towards serving Him who rings our hearts like a bell. It is as if He were waiting to enter our empty, perishing lives.” 

~ Abraham Joshua Heschel, Man is not alone
