Quote by St. Augustine

“For you [God] are infinite and never change. In you 'today' never comes to an end: and yet our 'today' does come to an end in you, because time, as well as everything else, exists in you. If it did not, it would have no means of passing. And since your years never come to an end, for you they are simply 'today'...But you yourself are eternally the same. In your 'today' you will make all that is to exist tomorrow and thereafter, and in your 'today' you have made all that existed yesterday and for ever before.”

“Life is a series of experiences that are ever so gently showing up to remind us who we are and what we need to walk us home. Whether it’s the gentle voice of the forest calling us to connect, or the pounding headache reminding us that we’ve been to hard on ourselves.”

“Do not be a soft, helpless victim in this world. Be sharp. Be dangerous. Do not become a slick, polished version of a human being. Keep your rough edges. Read real books. Books that hurt to read. Listen to music that makes you want to tear your chest open and show the world your beating heart.”
