Our quest generally does not lead us out of our loneliness, but rather distracts us so as to pretend that loneliness does not have any impact on us.

Nouwen encourages us to stop running from our loneliness and actually embrace it. In so doing, the reader can expect to find a solitude that can only achieved through a still, quiet appreciation of ourselves. The second attribute of the spiritual life presented is the movement from hostility to hospitality. A common theme discussed in this movement is the need to realize the host’s lack of ownership of the stranger or guest.

Since leaving the White House I have embarked on a new phase of my life as a U.S. Senator from New York, a humbling and daunting responsibility. A complete account of my move to New York, campaign for the Senate and the honor of working for the people who elected me will have to be told another time, but I hope this memoir illustrates how my success as a candidate for the Senate arose out of my White House experiences. During my years as First Lady, I became a better student of how government can serve people, how Congress really works, how people perceive politics and policy through the filter of the media and how American values can be translated into economic and social progress. I learned the importance of America’s engagement with the rest of the world, and I developed relationships with foreign leaders and an understanding of foreign cultures that come in handy today. I also learned how to keep focused while living in the eye of many storms.
