Quotes edit
-
“All was quiet as if the wotld was holding her breath. There are many ways to be alone.”
-
“The inside house of the soul is magnificent but fragile; any betrayals and lies embedded in its walls and foundation shift its construction in directions unimagined.”
-
“If freedom is an incremental process, so, too, is the enroachment of evil. Small adjustments to truth and minor justifications over time build an edifice that would never have been predicted.”
-
“When uncertainty impinges upon routine, one begins to think about one's life as a whole, about who.matters and why.”
-
“...it clearly resonated like the dim remembrance of a first kiss, now ethereal yet eternally haunting.”
-
“Image and appearance tell you little. The inside is bigger than the outside when you have the eyes to see.”
-
“Transformation without work and pain, without suffering, without a sense of loss is just an illusion of true change.”
-
“Relationship is at the very heart of who I am. ... It was not meant to be understood. It was meant to be experienced.”
-
“You have been dying since the day you were conceived.”
-
“This is not a test you can fail.”
-
“Love will never condemn you for being lost, but love will not let you stay there alone, even though it will never force you to come out of your hiding places.”
-
“I am she who is more than you can imagine and yet anchors your deepest longings. I am she whose love for you, you are not powerful enough to change, and I am she whom you can trust. I am the voice in the wind, the smile in the moon, the refreshing of the life that is water. I am the common wind that catches you by surprise and your very breath. I am a fire and fury opposed to everything that you believe that is not the Truth, that is hurting you and keeping you from being free. I am the Weaver, you are a favorite color, and He is the tapestry.”
-
“It is easy to create a category of persons, like retarded or handicapped, and then pass judgement on the group as a whole. He wondered if that was not the heart of all prejudice. It was so much easier than considering each as an individual, loved and loving.”
-
“Trying to explain a human being, a being who is a unity, one, and yet comprising spirit, soul, and body, is like trying to explain God: Spirit, Father, and Son. The understanding is in the experience and relationship.”
-
“Life was never meant to.be about comparing or competing.”
-
“Yes, the old must be torn down for the new to be raised; to have a resurrection you must have a crucifixion, but God wastes nothing, not even the wrong we have imagined into existence. In every building torn down there is much that remains that was once true and right and good, and that gets woven into the new; in fact, the new could not be what it is without the old. It is a refurbishing of the soul.”
-
“As healing happens in a person's soul, their voice changes, noticeable to anyone with ears to hear.”
-
“Our hearts of stone become hearts of flesh when we learn where the outcast weeps. - Brennan Manning”
-
“Perhaps true change increased the space in one's heart, creating openness that allowed for authentic community.”
-
“The world has no meaning apart from relationships. Some are just messier than others, some are seasonal, others are difficult, and a few are easy, but every one of them is important.”
-
“A person isnt who they are during the last conversation you had with them, theyre who theyve been throughout your whole relationship. - Rainier Maria Rilke”
First Sentence edit
Some years in Portland, Oregon, winter is a bully, spitting sleet and spewing snow in fits and starts as it violently wrestles days from spring, claiming some archaic right to remain king of the seasons - ultimately the vain attempt of another pretender.
