“When you are unattached to things, then you easily acquire virtue.”
Abba Zosimas as cited by John Chryssavgis in In the Heart of the Desert: The Spirituality of the Desert Fathers and Mothers (Bloomington, IN: World Wisdom) 25.
Got this from Dave Rowland, a friend and former student. If you ever come across profound thoughts, please pass them along! God help us all live unattached to things! Seriously, have you ever met a generous person who was attached to things?
