“It is natural to want to forget, Anna, when everyday is a brimful of sadness. But those souls also forgot those that they had loved. You do not want that, surely? I have heard some preach that God wants us to forget the dead, but I cannot believe so. I think He gives us precious recollections so that we may not be parted entirely from those He has given us to love. You must cherish your memories of your babes, Anna, until you see them again in Heaven.” ThinkingWantGivingBelieveMaySoulGivenHeavenNaturalMemoriesForgetHeardSadnessLove YouEverydayCherishWant UOur MemoriesRecollectionBabeAnna Author:Geraldine Brooks
“Saint Augustine cries, Lord I cannot love you, but come in and love yourself in me. According to Saint Paul, we must put off our own natural form and put on the form of God, and Saint Augustine tells us to discard our own mode of nature; then the divine nature will flow in and be revealed. Saint Augustine says, Those who seek and find, find not. He who seeks and finds not, he alone finds. Saint Paul says, What I was, was not I, it was God in me.” FormNaturalLordLove YouCryDivineFlowAnd LoveSaintLove YourselfAugustineDivine NatureSaint PaulNatural Forms Author:Meister Eckhart

“I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrence risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. and: No one can stop the river of your hands, your eyes and their sleepiness, my dearest. You are the trembling of time, which passes between the vertical light and the darkening sky. and: From the stormy archipelagoes I brought my windy accordian, waves of crazy rain, the habitual slowness of natural things: they made up my wild heart.” HeartMadeBodyHandsLightEyeEarthCertainNaturalSkyCrazyLove YouFlowerRainRiversPlantWaveThanksCarrieRisenTremblingHabitualStormyNatural ThingsVerticalWindySlownessSleepinessDarkeningEarth Life Author:Pablo Neruda
