“In the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.” -Max Ehrmann
Quotes
The Soul Is Healed…
“The soul is healed by being with children.” -Fyodor Dostoyevsky
“…Our World”
“… our world is desperately in need of … people who are building deep, genuine relationships with fellow strugglers…”
-Shaine Claiborne
The Fact That We…
“The fact that we are living does not mean we are not sick.” ―Joseph Brodsky
If Talk Is Cheap…
“If talk is cheap, then being silent is expensive. And many people it seems, can’t afford to buy into it.” ―Anthony Liccione
Do You Feel Cold And Lost…
“Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known. Remember all the sadness and frustration? And let it go. Let it go.” ―Linkin Park
Authors Like Cats…
“Authors like cats because they are such quiet, lovable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons.”
―Robertson Davies
As a side note: You know it’s time to get out of bed when you’ve got a cat on your nightstand staring down at you and another at the foot of the bed standing like a statue. I seriously doubt they were protecting me from nightmares. It was more like “We let you sleep past 5:00 a.m. trained human, so now it’s up-up time before we start throwing shit down.” This is considered love. 😛
We Can Ignore…
“We can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world…. No doubt pain as God’s megaphone is a terrible instrument; it may lead to final and unrepented rebellion. But it gives the only opportunity the bad man can have for amendment. it removes the veil; it plants the flag of truth within the fortress of the rebel soul.” ―C.S. Lewis
I was going to write something today, or, at the very least, finish something I’d already started. Unfortunately, pain is screaming through my body and I cannot sit, so it will have to happen another day.
Have a good weekend everyone!
