You have to find a mother inside yourself. We all do. Even if we already have a mother, we still have to find this part of ourselves inside

Were all yearning for a wedge of sky, aren't we? I suspect God plants these yearnings in us so we'll at least try and change the course of things. We must try, that's all.

It was the in-between time, before day leaves and night comes, a time I’ve never been partial to because of the sadness that lingers in the space between going and coming.

Loss takes up inside of everything sooner or later and eats right through it.

Actually, you can be bad at something...but if you love doing it, that will be enough. - August Boatwright

Nobody should go through life without falling in love.

The question occurred to me: Well, if that's so, if the Divine is ultimately formless and genderless, what's the big deal? Why all this bother? The bother is because we have no other way of speaking about the Absolute. We need forms and images. Without them we have no way of relating to the Divine. Symbol and image create a universal spiritual language. It's the language the soul understands.
