When Angels Are Born Quotes

“The language of poetry is a language of deep intimacy that is meant to touch the human spirit and awaken it to the mystery of life, all life.”
― Ron Starbuck, When Angels Are Born

“What is seeing?
Do we believe without seeing

or see because of a belief?
Does one come before the other?

Do you believe in the Mockingbird’s
song, as it enters your heart?

Spinning out sutra after sutra, and binding
together with threads of light, every

constellation in the heavens. As each pupil draws
in that light, to reflect on the inner

surface of your eye’s retina.
To become a sacrament of seeing.”
― Ron Starbuck, When Angels Are Born
