“When I ask, “How are you?” that is really what I want to know. I am not asking how many items are on your to-do list, nor asking how many items are in your inbox. I want to know how your heart is doing, at this very moment. Tell me. Tell me your heart is joyous, tell me your heart is aching, tell me your heart is sad, tell me your heart craves a human touch. Examine your own heart, explore your soul, and then tell me something about your heart and your soul.” KnowsWantHumansHeartSoulMomentsAsksKnow HowAskingListsYour SoulItemsCraveJoyousInbox Author:Omid Safi
“I want to take the word Christianity back to Christ himself, back to that mighty heart whose pulse seems to throb through the world today, that endless fountain of charity out of which I believe has come all true progress and all civilization that deserves the name. I go back to that great Spirit which contemplated a sacrifice for the whole of humanity. That sacrifice is not one of exclusion, but of an infinite and endless and joyous inclusion. And I thank God for it.” WorldWantBelieveHeartWholeSeemsSpiritHumanityNamesI BelieveChristChristianityProgressSacrificeCivilizationDeserveInfiniteCharityEndlessThank GodInclusionFountainPulseJoyousExclusionGreat Spirit Author:Julia Ward Howe
“In placid hours well-pleased we dream Of many a brave unbodied scheme. But form to lend, pulsed life create, What unlike things must meet and mate: A flame to melt--a wind to freeze; Sad patience--joyous energies; Humility--yet pride and scorn; Instinct and study; love and hate; Audacity--reverence. These must mate, And fuse with Jacob's mystic heart, To wrestle with the angel--Art.” WellsHeartArtDreamFormHateEnergyHoursStudyHumilityWindPrideAngelBraveInstinctFlamesMatesReverenceSchemesScornJoyousMysticFreezeLove And HateJacobAudacityFusePlacid Book:Published Poems: The Writings of Herman Melville Source: Published Poems: The Writings of Herman Melville
