“Janie looked down on him and felt a self-crushing love. So her soul crawled out from its hiding place.”

Her old thoughts were going to come in handy now, but new words would have to be made and said to fit them.

It was not death she feared. It was misunderstanding.

Mystery is the essence of divinity

I have the nerve to walk my own way, however hard, in my search for reality, rather than climb upon the rattling wagon of wishful illusions.

Oh to be a pear tree – any tree in bloom! With kissing bees singing of the beginning of the world!

No, I do not weep at the world. I’m too busy sharpening my oyster knife.

Half Gods are worshipped with wine and Flowers. Real Gods require Blood.

My sense of humor will always stand in the way of my seeing myself, my family, my race or my nation as the whole intent of the universe.

So her soul crawled out from its hiding place.

There is a basin in the mind where words float around on thought and thought on sound and sight. Then there is a depth of thought untouched by words, and deeper still a gulf of formless feelings untouched by thought.

A thing is mighty big when time and distance cannot shrink it.

Look like she been livin’ through a hundred years in January without one day of spring.

They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God.

Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.

One finds great comfort in good dinners.

He was the average mortal. It troubled him to get used to the world one way and then suddenly have it turn different.

Hidden in the ashes, of a fallen building lays a child’s family photo, with whom he could never unite in life.

The light of your love touches me in the hidden depths of my lonely soul. And I know beyond a single doubt, I am safe within your hold.

As a child, I loved playing hide & seek, but now it seems like I’ve been lost for a long, & no one is looking for me.

You shined your light on all the things I’ve been trying so hard to hide.

Will you wither or will you thrive when the sun hides behind clouds?

Modern man is not the man who goes off to discover himself, his secrets, and his hidden truth; he is a man who tries to invest himself.

Silence in a relationship can be light or heavy. When it’s light, it’s because you’ve got nothing left unsaid. When it’s heavy it’s because there’s so much you’re keeping hidden away.

Therapy. Acting classes. Yoga. Strong friendships. All these helped me see and heal parts of me I was trying to hide.
