“Often when you ask for one thing you receive another, this is the mysterious thing about prayer, we address them to heaven with some private intention, but they choose their own path, sometimes they delay, allowing other prayers to overtake them, frequently they overlap and become hybrid prayers of dubious origin, which quarrel and argue among themselves.” SometimesAsksHeavenPrayerPathOne ThingIntentionArguingMysteriousAddressesAllowingDelayQuarrelsHybridDubiousMysterious Things Author:Jose Saramago
“Two angels guide The path of man, both aged and yet young. As angels are, ripening through endless years, On one he leans: some call her Memory, And some Tradition; and her voice is sweet, With deep mysterious accords: the other, Floating above, holds down a lamp with streams A light divine and searching on the earth, Compelling eyes and footsteps. Memory yields, Yet clings with loving check, and shines anew, Reflecting all the rays of that bright lamp Our angel Reason holds. We had not walked But for Tradition; we walk evermore To higher paths by brightening Reason's lamp.” MenYearsTwoReasonLightEyeEarthYoungVoiceMemoriesWalksPathDivineSweetHigherAngelTraditionShiningGuidesEndlessChecksMysteriousStreamsYieldRaysCompellingFloatingLampsReflectingAccordFootstepsEvermoreRipening Book:Complete Works Of George Eliot Source: Complete Works Of George Eliot
“When a path opens up before us that leads we know not where, don't be afraid to follow it. Our lives are meant to be mysterious journeys, unfolding one step at a time. Often we follow a path worn smooth by the many and in doing so we lose our authenticity, our individuality, our own unique expression. Do not be afraid to lose your way. Out of chaos, clarity will eventually rise. Out of not knowing, something new and unknown will ultimately come. Do not order things too swiftly. Wait and the miracle will appear.” KnowsWayOrderWaitingLosesStepsKnowingPathOur LivesJourneyExpressionUniqueMiracleChaosIndividualityAuthenticityClarityMysteriousSomething NewMeant To BeNot KnowingWornSmoothUnfoldingOne Step At A TimeKnowing Something Author:Ann Mortifee

“Writing is mysterious, and it's supposed to be...any path that gets you there is a good path in the end. But one true thing among all these paths is the need to tap a deep vein of connection between our own uncontrollable interior preoccupations and what we're most concerned about in the world around us. We write in response to that world; we write in response to what we read and learn; and in the end we write out of our deepest selves, the live, breathing, bleeding place where the picture forms, and where it all begins.” WorldNeedsWritingEndsSelfFormPathConcernedConnectionsResponseMysteriousSupposed To BeBreathingInteriorsVeinsBleedingPreoccupationUncontrollableTrue Things Author:Andrea Barrett
“Your road is everything that a road ought to be...and yet you will not stay in it half a mile, for the reason that little, seductive, mysterious roads are always branching out from it on either hand, and as these curve sharply also and hide what is beyond, you cannot resist the temptation to desert your own chosen path and explore them.” LittlesReasonHandsHalfPathOughtMilesChosenTemptationMysteriousDesertCurvesSeductiveChosen PathBranching Out Author:Mark Twain
