Inspirational quotes:

• How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide our wounds when we are all wounded!  Community requires the ability to expose our wounds and weaknesses to our fellow creatures.  It also requires the ability to be affected by the wounds of others... But even more important is the love that arises among us when we share, both ways, our woundedness.     - M. Scott Peck
• Is it all sewn up, my life?
  Or is it so predictable—
  so orderly, neat, well-arranged, right—
     that I don't have the time or space
     for listening for the rustle of angels' wings
     or running to the stable to see a baby?
  Could this be what he meant when he said
     Listen, those who have ears to hear...
     Look, those who have eyes to see?
  O God, give me the humility of the shepherds
     who saw in the cold December darkness
     the coming of Light; the advent of Love!      - Anne Weems
• The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small corner of evil. It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
• Difficulties should not depress or divert us. The Cause that has gripped us is so great that the small weaknesses of individuals cannot destroy it. Therefore I ask you only one thing: do not be so worried about yourself. Free yourself from all your plans and aims. They occupy you far too much. Surrender yourself to the sun, the rain, and the wind, as do the flowers and the birds. Surrender yourself to God. Wish for nothing but one thing: that his will be done, that his kingdom come, and that his nature be revealed. Then all will be well. - Eberhard Arnold

• My heart leaps up when I behold
  A rainbow in the sky:
  So was it when my life began;
  So it is now I am a man;
  So be it when I shall grow old,
  Or let me die!
  The Child is father of the Man;
  And I could wish my days to be
  Bound each to each by natural piety. - William Wordsworth
