Behold

"Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?"

--Saint Matthew, Chapter 6, verse 26

September days

"By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer."
--Helen Hunt Jackson, September, 1830-1885

So swift

Autumn to winter, winter into spring.
Spring, into summer, summer into fall,
So rolls the changing year, and so we change;
Motion so swift, we know not that we move.
--Dinah Mulock Craik

The paradox

“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”

 --Mother Teresa

Like bread

“Love doesn't just sit there like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.”

--Ursula K. LeGuin

Use well the days

Round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I have passed them by
A day will come
I will take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon and East of the Sun...
--J.R.R. Tolkien/Annie Lennox (Click here to see why Annie Lennox is billed with Tolkien.)

Thank you, Oliver!

Time

Time heals what reason cannot.

--Seneca
