Quote by James Stalker

“These are the things that gave [Jesus] such faith and fearlessness in His work. He knew that the call to do it had come from God, and He knew that He was immortal until it was done. This was what made Him, with all His self-consciousness and originality, the pattern of meekness and submission, for He was forever bringing every thought and wish into obedience to His Father’s will. This was the secret of the peace and majestic calmness that imparted such a stateliness to His demeanour in the most difficult hours of life. He knew that the worst that could happen to Him was His Father’s will for Him, and that was enough.”

“When the world is so fraught and full of fire-- hearts and minds and countries burning up burning down-- going in may be the escape urge-- as if it's no longer there-- but it's all still there all the time-- reading news or not-- outside looking at seasonal lights store window displays children's cherry-cheeked faces or not-- even when heads are buried in pillows. Take a break to breathe. The frenzy and furor continue. Take a break to weep. The exquisite beauty is still there. All continues on and will be there upon return.”

“A.W.E. is a doorway to profound presence, spaciousness, ease and peace - a fast track to transcendence. Part of the reason awe doesn't come naturally to some people is that their sympathetic nervous system is in overdrive more often than is necessary. Many of us don't feel safe enough to open up to awe.”

“There appears to be an errant gene in the human genome that prevents harmony, peace, and long-term solutions. We will end, like so many civilizations we discover in the dust of history, the dust for a future civilization to discover. Future books will describe how our time was marked by moments of progress and brilliance, it is also marred by self-made conflicts and struggles. We failed on our watch. How is it that we are a species that can view the early beginnings of the universe, build satellites, go to the moon, and explore Mars and our distant planets, and yet we cannot learn to live together in peace?”

“Peace on earth.” “Goodwill toward men.” “Tidings of comfort and joy.” Are these things not the very embodiment of our deepest desires and most vigorous passions? Are these not that which we yearn for? And yet, despite the fact that we thirst for them with a longing indescribable, we are left with the wretched reality that we have been unable to achieve them. Yet, that is the reason and rationale for Christmas itself. For such passions might elude our ability to weave these things firmly into the tapestry our existence. Yet God came on Christmas so that they might become our existence.”
