From Ash Wednesday by James W. Bailey

Losing everything...you become everything that you have lost...This divestment of material possessions becomes the missing part of your new identity...To find the thing that matters most in life...requires lowering your state of alertness...Your lack of security about yourself...will protect your search for true meaning.
