"Love consumes us only in the measure of our self-surrender."
St. Therese of Lisieux
...The oNe true thing that you know when you see it, your soul is certain to open up to. You can not remember what it was like To be without it, or maybe it is that you can never forget what it was like to be without it. the eternal journey begins hoping and believing you will be met there once more, again and again. we only need to keep in mind that LoVe is Here. what matters above all is that we come and see, and be with. i know LoVe because I have been LoVed. i LoVe because i have also known LoVe...

"The world is full of dark shadows to be sure,
both the world without and the world within, and the road we've all set off on is long and hard and often hard to find,
but the word is trust.
Trust the deepest intuitions of your own heart.
Trust the source of your own truest gladness.
Trust the road.
Above all else,
trust him.
Trust him.
Amen."

"In the conflicts between man and man, between group and group, between nation and nation, the loneliness of the seeker for community is sometimes unendurable. The radical tension between good and evil, as man sees it and feels it, does not have the last word about the meaning of life and the nature of existence. There is a spirit in man and in the world working always against the thing that destroys and lays waste. Always he must know that the contradictions of life are not final or ultimate; he must distinguish between failure and a many-sided awareness so that he will not mistake conformity for harmony, uniformity for synthesis. He will know that for all men to be alike is the death of life in man, and yet perceive harmony that transcends all diversities and in which diversity finds its richness and significance." From The Search For Common Ground; An Inquiry Into The Basis Of Man's Experience Of Community.
For some unexplained reason, the following quote is widely and incorrectly attributed on the Internet to Harold Thurman Whitman:
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." The author of this quote is Dr. Howard Thurman. Harold Thurman Whitman is a fictional name.
"When the song of the angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone, When the kings and princes are home, When the shepherds are back with their flock, The work of Christmas begins: To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry, To release the prisoner, To rebuild the nations, To bring peace among others, To make music in the heart."
