“St. Seraphim, like Francis of Assisi, talked to animals. One day two nuns saw him deep in conversation with a bear. The bears of the Russian forests are very ferocious, and the two women were terrified. But Seraphim reassured them and showed them that he who is sanctified lives in peace with all creation, just as Adam did before the Fall.” TwoFallAnimalSawsCreationBearsOne DayConversationForestsAdamTerrifiedNun Author:Olivier Clement

“When women and blacks were let in, the system didn't miss a beat. When gays are given their equality, the system will be as stable/unstable as it was before.

“And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered. But most of all, I learned that life is about sitting on benches next to ancient creeks with my hand on her knee and sometimes, on good days, for falling in love.” LifeShouldChildrenLittlesSometimesDreamHandsLife IsFallNextAnimalTalkingFlowerOne DayFindingsSittingFalling In LoveAncientObviousKneesEach DayCollectionsSunsetBreezeGood DayBenchesRefreshingOne Day At A TimeCreeksSitting On The Bench Author:Nicholas Sparks
