When you have grasped a problem clearly, face it with resolution, for that is the way of the strong.

You work that you may keep peace with the earth and the soul of the earth.

My friend, be not like him who sits by his fireside and watches the fire go out, then blows vainly upon the dead ashes. Do not give up hope or yield to despair because of that which is past, for to bewail the irretrievable is the worst of human frailties.

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountaintop,then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shal claim your limbs,then shall you truly dance.

Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.

For what is prayer but the expansion of your self into the living ether?

It has been said that next to hunger and thirst, our most basic human need is for storytelling.
