be as air and wind

Until one is as light as the air and moves as the wind he is still attached to the world.

the heretic in academe

Shaking his head and chuckling while reading Scientific American, the young physics professor was overheard saying to himself, 'People believe in time but not God. Idiots. People submit to space but not God. Morons. People bow to gravity but not God. Imbeciles.'

be smart

The mind makes too many mistakes not to be joined with the heart before it's right.

[untitled]

Life resonates with symphonies that resonate Life as Nature belies a one note composer with a single score.

time and place

The young man finished by summarizing, 'Thus you need time to make place.'

The old man replied by reminding him, 'But you said time is known by objects, their existence, change and alteration and movement. So, if time is a function of objects ~ or possibly an inherent property or attribute as your reasoning suggests ~ then I need place first for objects; I need space for time.'

the truth about love

God's love is not at the expense of truth. Indeed, love resides in truth, and love is unconditional because truth is unconditional. Truth is what is, and not as we wish what is to be. Thus God's love for you is not at the expense of truth about you.

gratitude gratuitously given

This is God's world, and the leaves of the tree can complain and lament as they dance in the wind and breeze that they wish to be free to wander, but should they, they are already dead and under the whim of the wind. Let the leaf be grateful for the twig, the twig for the branch, the branch for the trunk, the trunk its roots, the roots and trunk the seed, and the seed for the earth's womb and the nurturing sky.

concealment's publicity

Confession of faith alone can conceal a great deal of disbelief; works alone can conceal a bad heart.

no harmony, no balance

Man's free will is an example to Nature to be satisfied with itself.

bless now

The past is gone, the future is yet to be; I bless Now, and in the root of this blessing is my thanks to God.

lipping ignorance

Labels are a limited vocabulary improperly used by those who find knowing an effort and thinking an inconvenience.

the most important person revealed

Who you turn to first and the frequency reveals the most important person in your life.

appearing from an exit

The very nature of existence is the appearance from an exit.

the unintended consequence

Judgment often asserts inferiority, but not always the object of the judgment.

to vie

To vie, one seeks to equal or exceed his rival. Perhaps, therefore, the aspiration for spiritual perfection is because evil appears to be so perfect. But to be perfect in form does not mean excellence in use. It is better to aspire to spiritual excellence which is the best answer to evil than the narrow, rigid, and self-attentive way of perfection.

mind the body

We have so abstracted that portion of life called mind that we are compelled to think in terms of a mind, body dichotomy. Yet, they are one and the same. The body is mind; intelligence permeates the entire body.
