in daily custom and in trust,
so that I live by you unaware
as by the beating of my heart,Suddenly you flare in my sight,

of thicket, grace and light
where yesterday was only shade,and once again I am blessed, choosing
again what I chose before.Speaker: Wendell BerrySource: bird by birdPosted: 16 Aug 2009 at 12:44 PMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -

“Charity is not developed entirely by our own power, even though our faithfulness is a necessary qualification to receive it. Rather, charity is 'bestowed’ upon the true followers of Christ (Moroni 7:48). The purpose of the endowment of charity is not merely to cause Christ’s followers to engage in charitable acts towards others, desirable as that is. The ultimate purpose is to transform HIS followers to BECOME LIKE HIM.”

I’d rather play at hug-o-war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs.
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug.
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.Speaker: Shel SilversteinPosted: 20 Mar 2009 at 9:45 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -

These are life’s delights. These momentary, happy pairings are a deep response to life and nature, a summons to warmth and light.

...The lawyer’s clerk becomes a god. The cries and chasings in the grass, the clasped waist, the murmur of half-spoken words that are a song of rapture, the cherry passed from mouth to mouth, these like a flame rising and sinking are the heaven of life.
