Heroes do not dwell in a time of peace; heroes are hardened in a kiln against the sorrows. Their troubles sharpen the blade and make it gleaming. The glint becomes a brightness that is raised high on a hill, allowing women and men to see beyond themselves. For light swallows darkness. Truth buries death. Heroes are not born. They are filled by Music.
David PaulTears are another river that takes us home. We become alive with tears. There isn't a chance to return to sleep when we are weeping.
David PaulWe love against the night, burning like stars against the darkness of bread and circuses.
David Paul
