“One time a young man went up to an old saint who taught the deeper life, the crucified life, and asked him, ‘What does it mean to be crucified?’ The old man thought for a moment and said, ‘Well, the man who is crucified is facing only one direction.’ I like that – facing only one direction. If he hears anything behind him, he can’t turn around to see what’s going on. He has stopped looking back.”
