“For the most part, of course, the presence of the great spiritual universe surrounding us is no more noticed by us than the pressure of air on our bodies, or the action of light. Our field of attention is not wide enough for that; our spiritual senses are not sufficiently alert. Most people work so hard at developing their correspondence with the visible world, that their power of correspondence with the invisible is left in a rudimentary state.” PeopleWorldHardStatesEnoughBodyLightActionSpiritualUniverseCoursesLeftAttentionSeeingAirFieldsPressureWideSensesInvisibleDevelopingVisibleCorrespondenceGreat Spiritual Author:Evelyn Underhill

“The freedom of thought and action we Americans enjoy today seems as natural as the air we breathe. But there is a danger we may take this freedom for granted. We must never forget it was bought for us at a great price. The brave and resourceful Americans whose sacrifices gained our Independence and preserved it for more than 200 years against formidable foes have set an example of unflinching loyalty to the ideal of liberty and justice for all.” YearsMaySeemsTodayActionEnjoyNaturalJusticeForgetLibertySacrificeAirDangerExampleIdealsIndependenceBraveBreatheLoyaltyGrantedNever ForgetFoeForget ItFreedom Of ThoughtFormidableResourcefulThoughts And ActionsLiberty And JusticeJustice For AllLiberty And Justice For AllEnjoy Today Author:Ronald Reagan
“There was a stately drama writ By the hand that peopled the earth and air, And set the stars in the infinite, And made night gorgeous and morning fair; And all that had sense to reason knew That bloody drama must be gone through. Some sat and watched how the action veered-- Waited, profited, trembled, cheered-- We saw not clearly nor understood, But yielding ourselves to the masterhand, Each in his part as best he could, We played it through as the author planned.” MadeWarReasonHandsActionEarthNightStarsMorningGoneSawsAirDramaUnderstoodFairsInfiniteSatBloodyGorgeous Author:Alan Seeger
“There's a gentle sigh which descends like billowing silk upon the soul that accepts its coming death. It's a gentle pocket of air in the turbulence of everyday life... the silk settles around you as if it has been drifting towards the earth forever and has finally found it's target. The flag of defeat has been mercifully dropped and, in this action, the loss is not so bad. Defeat itself is defeated by the embrace of defeat, and death is swallowed up in victory.” IfsHas BeensSoulActionEarthFoundLossAcceptingForeverAirVictoryEmbraceEverydayDefeatGentleSettlingPocketsTargetFlagsDefeatedEveryday LifeSighSilkDriftingTurbulence Book:The Gargoyle Source: The Gargoyle

“Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with an its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.” HumansLongLightActionNaturalOpinionAliveAirConscienceDirectMedicineInjusticeCreatorSurfaceTensionCoveredExposedExposureUglinessDirect ActionCovered Up Book:Why We Can't Wait Source: Why We Can't Wait
