Quotes from TRAVELING WITH POMEGRANATES by Sue Monk Kidd

I'm enjoying every word of the book Traveling with Pomegranates by Sue Monk Kidd and her daughter, Ann Kidd Taylor

“My children have always existed at the deepest center of me, right there in the heart/hearth, but I struggled with the powerful demands of motherhood, chafing sometimes at the way they pulled me away from my separate life, not knowing how to balance them with my unwieldy need for solitude and creative expression.”

“The words were unexpected, but so incisively true. So much of prayer is like that - an encounter with a truth that has sunk to the bottom of the heart, that wants to be found, wants to be spoken, wants to be elevated into the realm of sacredness.”
