"I am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through. Listen to this music." - Hafiz

"The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea." - Anne Morrow Lindbergh

"True contemplation is not a psychological trick but a theological grace." - Thomas Merton

"It is true that sin is the cause of all this pain, but all will be well, and every kind of thing will be well." - Julian of Norwich

"The enemy of whole vision is reasoning power's divorce from the imagination." - William Blake

"When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take that step into the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will happen: there will be something solid for us to stand on, or we will learn to fly." - Patrick Overton

"Traveler, there is no path. Paths are made by walking." - Pablo Neruda

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life." - Proverbs 12:12

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." -
