“Our sages of blessed memory have said that we must not enjoy any pleasure in this world without reciting a blessing. If we eat any food, or drink any beverage, we must recite a blessing over them before and after. If we breathe the scent of goodly grass, the fragrance of spices, the aroma of good fruits, we pronounce a blessing over the pleasure. The same applies to pleasures of the sight. And the same applies to pleasures of the ear.” IfsWorldSaidEnjoyMemoriesPleasureThis WorldDrinkBlessingEarsSightBlessedFruitBreatheGrassScentSageFragranceSpicesBeveragesAromaBefore And AfterReciting Author:Shmuel Yosef Agnon

“Within minutes my 115-mile walk through the desert hills becomes a thing apart, a disjunct reality on the far side of a bottomless abyss, immediately beyond physical recollection.But it's all still there in my heart and soul. The walk, the hills, the sky, the solitary pain and pleasure-they will grow larger, sweeter, lovelier in the days to come, like a treasure found and then, voluntarily, surrendered. Returned to the mountains with my blessing. It leaves a golden glowing on the mind.” MindHeartStillsSoulRealityPainFoundGrowsSidesWalksPleasureSkyMinutesMy HeartBlessingMountainMilesTreasureGoldenHillsDesertSolitaryAbyssHeart And SoulGlowingRecollectionPain And PleasureMy BlessingFar SideDays To Come Author:Edward Abbey

“I have received your letter of the 6th, with the eloquent discourse delivered at the consecration of the Jewish Synagogue. Having ever regarded the freedom of religious opinions and worship as equally belonging to every sect, and the secure enjoyment of it as the best human provision for bringing all either into the same way of thinking, or into that mutual charity which is the only substitute, I observe with pleasure the view you give of the spirit in which your sect partake of the blessings offered by our Government and laws.” ThinkingWayGivingHumansGovernmentLawSpiritReligiousPleasureViewsOpinionAtheismBlessingWorshipLettersCharityPositive AtheismSecureEnjoymentMutualBelongingSubstitutesDiscourseWay Of ThinkingProvisionEloquentSectsSynagogueConsecration Book:1816-1828 Source: 1816-1828
