Quote by Isaac Asimov

“What is beauty, or goodness, or art, or love, or God? We're forever teetering on the brink of the unknowable, and trying to understand what can't be understood. It's what makes us men.”

“Prayer to Forgive Yourself: Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart heavy from the weight of my own mistakes. I know You are merciful and full of compassion. Your Word says: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” — 1 John 1:9 So I confess, Lord—not just the actions, but the shame I’ve carried. I release it now. I lay it at Your feet. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me (Psalm 51:10). Help me to see myself through Your eyes—not as broken, but as beloved. Not as condemned, but as redeemed. You said in Isaiah 1:18: “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” So I receive that cleansing. I receive Your grace. I forgive myself—not because I deserve it, but because You’ve already paid the price. Let Your love rewrite the story I’ve told myself. Let Your truth silence the voice of shame. Let Your Spirit lead me into healing, wholeness, and peace. I declare: I am not my past. I am not my failure. I am a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). I walk forward free, forgiven, and full of purpose. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

“One Life, One Idea (The Sonnet) One life, one idea, one duty – love. One body, one being, one vision – amity. One heart, one sight, one sentiment – care. One mind, one kind, one community – humanity. One pen, one ink, one paper – awareness. One hive, one height, one light – assimilation. One kite, one compass, one flight – unity. One sail, one sea, one ship - self-correction. One gospel, one goal, one gamble – collectivity. One cult, one core, one culture – unification. One church, one mosque, one temple – nonduality. One road, one reason, one reality – nondifferentiation. Take the mind beyond the bind to see the world anew. A world united comes to life when walls turn dust in you.”
