“Holy persons draw to themselves all that is earthly.”

When the words come, they are merely empty shells without the music. They live as they are sung, for the words are the body and the music the spirit.

Dare to declare who you are. It is not far from the shores of silence to the boundaries of speech. The path is not long, but the way is deep. You must not only walk there, you must be prepared to leap.

Like billowing clouds, Like the incessant gurgle of the brook The longing of the spirit can never be stilled.

O, You who are ever giving life to all life, moving all creatures, root of all things, washing them clean, wiping out their mistakes, healing their wounds, You are our true life, luminous, wonderful, awakening the heart from its ancient sleep.

The truly holy person welcomes all that is earthly.

The fire has its flame and praises God. The wind blows the flame and praises God. In the voice we hear the word which praises God. And the word, when heard, praises God. So all of creation is a song of praise to God.

Even in a world that’s being shipwrecked, remain brave and strong.

Because a woman brought death a bright Maiden overcame it, and so the highest blessing in all of creation lies in the form of a woman, since God has become man in a sweet and blessed Virgin.

The word stands for the body, but the symphony stands for the spirit.

All living creatures are sparks from the radiation of God’s brilliance, emerging from God like the rays of the sun.

What I do not see I do not know. I see, hear and know simultaneously and learn what I know as if in a moment.

All the arts serving human desires and needs are derived from the breath that Godsent into the human body.

Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars. Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings. Now, think. What delight God gives to humankind with all these things . All nature is at the disposal of humankind. We are to work with it. For without we cannot survive.

Just as a circle embraces all that is within it, so does the God-head embrace all. No one has the power to divide this circle, to surpass it, or to limit it.

Every creature is a glittering, glistening mirror of Divinity.

The mystery of God hugs you in its all-encompassing arms.

Your mind is a magnet. You don’t attract what you need or what you want; you attract who you are. And I love who I am!

Ever since I was a child I’ve always been very attracted to melodies. Whether I hear Jeff Beck, a choir, an ocean or the wind, there’s always a melody in there.

I did not feel ‘evil’ when I wrote advertisements for Puerto Rico. They helped attract industry and tourists to a country which had been living on the edge of starvation for 400 years.

I’m attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.

Certainly I have no attraction to misery. I don’t intentionally go for dark.

That’s not very attractive behavior, Bella. he said. Forgiveness is divine. Mind your own buisness.

Now that the steam engine rules the world, a title is an absurdity, still I am all dressed up in this title. It will crush me if Ido not support it. The title attracts attention to myself.

I suppose maybe if I had been an attractive child, I would have had less inclination to push my physical presence.
