Fullness or complete self-satisfaction in a person cannot permit love because there are no openings, no give-and-take, and no deep hunger. It is like trying to attach two inflated balloons to one another. Human vulnerability gives the soul an immense head start on its travels—maybe the only start for any true spiritual journey. God begins, with self-disclosure from the divine side, which ideally leads to self-disclosure from our side.

– Father Richard Rohr
