Abandon, as in love or sleep, holds them to their way, clear, in the ancient faith: what we need is here.
Geese appear high over us, pass, and the sky closes. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. ~George Eliot's final sentence in Middlemarch Nothing will sustain you more potently than the power to recognize in your humdrum routine the true poetry of life.~ Sir William Oslerīut the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts, and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs. Now may we rest in hope while darkness does its work. Hello you who made the morning and spread it over the fields.Watch, now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness. This is also the case when people withdraw from God. When people choose to withdraw far from light, the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness.
When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. I believe in God as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
To live is so startling, it leaves little room for other occupations. To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life.Ī man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul. Days I am overwhelmed, wanting to write the music of my life in a slower tempo … yet this is the glorious dance of now. I must consume the abundance of moments now. What is my only comfort in life and in death? That I am not my own, but belong-body and soul, in life and in death-to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ. whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.
