When one's thoughts are neither frivolous nor flippant, when one's thoughts are neither stiff-necked nor stupid, but rather, are harmonious -- they habitually render physical calm and deep insight.

O Eternal God, now may it please you to burn in love so that we become the limbs fashioned in the love you felt when you begot your Son at the first dawn before all creation. And consider this need which falls upon us, take it from us for the sake of your Son, and lead us to the joy of your salvation.

The truly holy person welcomes all that is earthly.

Everything that is in the heavens, on earth, and under the earth is penetrated with connectedness, penetrated with relatedness.

All the arts serving human desires and needs are derived from the breath that Godsent into the human body.

Divinity is in its omniscience and omnipotence like a wheel, a circle, a whole, that can neither be understood, nor divided, nor begun nor ended.

The mystery of God hugs you in its all-encompassing arms.
