Victoria Chang, "Passing", The Trees Witness Everything
Angels are of a superiority all but incomprehensible to us, but they are a part of our lives: by God's boundless mercy, they are destined, in the great moments off history, to be the heralds of the Most High to man below; they are, as well, our guides, guardians, mentors, protectors, and comforters from birth to the grave.
The Holy Angels by Mother Alexandra
Katie Ford, from If You Have to Go: Poems; “The Addresses”
[Text ID: “Can I drag you through me, just to feel? / can’t I be allowed to need you, too?”]
—Albert Camus
Your real nature is calmness. You have put on a mask of restlessness: the agitated state of your consciousness resulting from the stimuli of feelings. You are not that mask; you are pure, calm Spirit. It is time you remember who you are: the blessed soul, a reflection of Spirit. Take off the mask of feelings. Face your Self.
- Paramahamsa Yogananda
Las lágrimas fluyen aún en quien intenta detenerlas, y procuran alivio al espíritu. -Séneca
You have been with me from the beginning.
John 15:27
“Speak only when your words are more beautiful than silence.”
— Imam Ali
