The laws of changeless justice bind oppressor and oppressed; and, close as sin and suffering joined we march to fate abreast.
John Greenleaf WhittierNothing before, nothing behind; The steps of faith Fall on the seeming void, and find The Rock beneath.

The heart feels a beauty of another kind; looking through the outward environment, it discovers a deeper and more real love-liness.
