“However young, the seeker who sets out upon the way Shines bright over the world. But day and night the person who is awake Shines in the radiance of the spirit. Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work, with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine!” WorldWayPersonsYoungSpiritNightBehindsQuietMoonShiningCloudsAwakeMasterySeekersDay And NightRadianceShine Bright Author:Gautama Buddha
“Those who shine with the glory of God are destined to become walking spiritual experiences for others. Those who covet being in His presence, soak in His love, quiet their souls and allow the Lord to change them, become transformed and grow from glory to glory. They become the ones who step up during such a time as this.” SoulSpiritualGrowsLordStepsWalkingQuietGloryShiningTransformedDestinedHis LoveGlory Of GodStep UpSpiritual Experience Author:Julia Loren
“Filled with rapture, his soul yearned for freedom, space, vastness. Over him the heavenly dome, full of quiet, shining stars, hung boundlessly. From the zenith to the horizon the still-dim Milky Way stretched its double strand. Night, fresh and quiet, almost unstirring, enveloped the earth. The white towers and golden domes of the church gleamed in the sapphire sky. The luxuriant autumn asleep till morning. The silence of the earth seemed to merge with the silence of the heavens and the mystery of the earth touched the mystery of the stars.” WayStillsSoulEarthNightHeavenStarsChurchSpaceWhiteSilenceMorningMysterySkyQuietFilledShiningGoldenTouchedHeavenlyAutumnHorizonHungTowersRaptureStrandsVastnessDomesMilky WayZenithShining StarSapphires Book:The Brothers Karamazov: A Novel in Four Parts With Epilogue Source: The Brothers Karamazov: A Novel in Four Parts With Epilogue
“O how all things are far removed and long have passed away. I do believe the star, whose light my face reflects, is dead and has been so for many thousand years. I had a vision of a passing boat and heard some voices saying disquieting things. I heard a clock strike in some distant house... but in which house?... I long to quiet my anxious heart and stand beneath the sky's immensity. I long to pray... And one of all the stars must still exist. I do believe that I would know which one alone endured, and which like a white city stands at the ray's end shining in the heavens.” KnowsYearsBelieveHeartLongHas BeensStillsEndsLightFacesHouseHeavenStarsVoiceWhiteCitiesVisionHeardSkyPrayingThousandQuietAll ThingsShiningStrikesPassingPassingsBoatClockRaysAnxiousThousand YearsPassed AwayImmensity Author:Rainer Maria Rilke
“He laced his fingers through mine and lifted my hand to his lips. I had gloves on, but he kissed exactly where I wore his ring. “Why are you so sweet?” I asked, my voice small. My heart beat rapidly, and every star peeping through the clouds seemed to be shining just for me. “I don’t think I’m that sweet. I mean, I just told you to be quiet. That’s one step away from asking you to wash my laundry and make me a sandwich.” “You know what I mean.” Seth pressed another kiss to my forehead. “I’m sweet because you make it easy to be sweet.” ThinkingKnowsHeartMeanHandsStarsEasyVoiceStepsMinesSweetMy HeartQuietKissingBeatsAskingShiningFingersLipsCloudsRingsSandwichesForeheadsGlovesLaundryHeart BeatPeeping Book:Succubus Dreams Source: Succubus Dreams
“I had become so quiet and so small in the grass by the pond that I was barely noticeable, hardly there... I sat there watching their living room shining out of the dark beside the pond. It looked like a fairy tale functioning happily in the post-World War II gothic of America before television crippled the imagination of America and turned people indoors and away from living out their own fantasies with dignity... Anyway, I just kept getting smaller and smaller beside the pond, more and more unnoticed in the darkening summer grass until I disappeared into the 32 years that have passed since then.” PeopleWorldYearsWarAmericaImaginationDarkRoomsFantasyTelevisionQuietSummerDignityShiningTalesPostsGrassWar Of The WorldsSatFairyWorld War IiFairy TaleGothicLiving RoomPondsUnnoticedCrippledDarkeningShining Out Author:Richard Brautigan
