We do not know what things look like. We know what things are like. It must be a very limiting thing,this seeing. -Aunt Beast
Madeleine L'EngleLike it or not, we either add to the darkness of indifference and out-and-out evil which surrounds us or we light a candle to see by.
Madeleine L'EngleThe earth will never be the same again Rock, water, tree, iron, share this greif As distant stars participate in the pain. A candle snuffed, a falling star or leaf, A dolphin death, O this particular loss A Heaven-mourned; for if no angel cried If this small one was tossed away as dross, The very galaxies would have lied. How shall we sing our love's song now In this strange land where all are born to die? Each tree and leaf and star show how The universe is part of this one cry, Every life is noted and is cherished, and nothing loved is ever lost or perished.
