“The heart of God through his creation stirs, We thrill to feel it, trembling as the flowers That die to live again, his messengers, To keep faith firm in these sad souls of ours. The waves of Time may devastate our lives, The frosts of age may check our failing breath, They shall not touch the spirit that survives Triumphant over doubt and pain and death.” FeelsHeartMaySoulAgePainSpiritDiesDoubtOur LivesFailingCreationFlowerBreathsWaveChecksFirmThrillTremblingFrostMessengersTriumphantKeep The FaithSad Soul Book:Poems Source: Poems

“Isn't the small and common the field we live our life in? The large comes into a life through small-paned windows. A breath is small, but everything depends on it.

The smaller the clue, the larger the meaning, it sometimes feels.” FeelsLooksPersonsSometimesMomentsCommonOur LivesFieldsChangedDependsWindowBreathsClueBrief Moments Author:Jane Hirshfield

“Narration is as much a part of human nature as breath and the circulation of the blood.... storytelling is intrinsic to biological time, which we cannot escape. Life, Pascal said, is like living in a prison from which every day fellow prisoners are taken away to be executed. We are all, like Scheherazade, under sentence of death, and we all think of our lives as narratives, with beginnings, middles and ends.” ThinkingHumansSaidEndsTakenOur LivesBloodHuman NatureBreathsFellowsPrisonSentencesStorytellingNarrativePrisonerCirculationNarrationPascal Author:A.
