Hello, you who made the morning and spread it over the fields and into the faces of the tulips and the nodding morning glories, and into the windows of, even, the miserable and the crotchety – best preacher that ever was, dear star, that just happens to be where you are in the universe to keep us from ever-darkness, to ease us with warm touching, to hold us in the great hands of light – good morning, good morning, good morning.

“That odd capacity for destitution, as if by nature we ought to have so much more than nature gives us. As if we are shockingly unclothed when we lack the complacencies of ordinary life. In destitution, even of feeling or purpose, a human being is more hauntingly human and vulnerable to kindnesses because there is the sense that things should be otherwise, and then the thought of what is wanting and what alleviation would be, and how the soul could be put at ease, restored. At home. But the soul finds its own home if it ever has a home at all.” IfsGivingShouldHumansSoulFeelingsHomeWould BePurposeHuman BeingsKindnessOughtOrdinaryCapacityVulnerableEaseOddComplacencyOrdinary Life Author:Marilynne Robinson
“I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves - this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts - possessions, outward success, luxury - have always seemed to me contemptible.” MenWorldWayMindHumansHas BeensArtEndsFacesGivenEffortKindnessFieldsObjectsIdealsEmptyBasesPossessionCriticalObjectivesLuxuryMy WayEaseOccupationEndeavorUnattainableKinship Author:Albert Einstein
“Any man can be kind when he is comfortable. I'd always thought kindness a trivial virtue, therefore.

“If we know anything about a path at all, it's only because of the Great ones that have gone before us. Out of their love and kindness, they have left some footprints for us to follow.
