“THE LEVEL OF WORDS

God has said, "The images that come with human language do not correspond to me,

but those who love words must use them to come near."
Just remember, it's

like saying of the king, "He is not a weaver." Is that praise? Whatever such

a statement is, words are on THAT level of God-knowing.”

“To love is to accept a soul entirely, not wishing that the person was otherwise, nor hoping for change, nor clinging to some ideal past. To love is to cherish the individual standing before you presently―charms, quirks, and all. To love is to give someone a piece of your heart that you will never, ever reclaim.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway: Quotes, Verse, & Grumblings for Every Day of the Year

“We are not human beings in search of a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings emersed in a human experience.”
― Wayne W. Dyer

“You are at once both the quiet and the confusion of my heart.”
― Franz Kafka
