“Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours For one lone soul another lonely soul, Each choosing each through all the weary hours, And meeting strangely at one sudden goal, Then blend they, like green leaves with golden flowers, Into one beautiful and perfect whole; And life's long night is ended, and the way Lies open onward to eternal day.” WorldWayLoveLongSoulWholeBeautifulLyingNightGoalHoursPerfectThis WorldFlowerEternalLonelyGreenMeetingsGoldenWearyLoneLong NightsGreen Leaves Author:Edwin Arnold
“In America, you are not required to offer food to the hungry or shelter the homeless. There is no ordinance forcing you to visit the lonely, or comfort the infirmed. No where in the Constitution does it say you have to provide clothing to the poor. In fact, one of the nicest things about living here in America, is that you really don't have to do anything for anybody. But when you do, you give meaning and provide soul to the concept of community...and develop a sense of purpose to something greater than one's self.” GivingDoeSoulSelfFactsAmericaPurposeCommunityPoorGreaterComfortOffersConceptsLonelyConstitutionHungryClothingsShelterHomelessOrdinances Author:Pope Paul VI
“And when night, guiding her bright train of stars, Throws o'er the sleeping world her gloomy veil, Lonely amidst the desert and the darkness, Musing upon the night's calm majesty; Wrapt up in quietness, with shade and silence, My soul more closely worshippeth Thy presence; With an internal day I feel enlighten'd, And hear a voice, which biddeth me to hope.” WorldFeelsSoulNightStarsVoiceSleepSilenceDarknessLonelyTrainCalmMy SoulDesertInternalsShadeVeilsMajestyEnlighteningGloomyQuietnessMusings Book:A biographical sketch: the poetical meditations : and, poetical and religious harmonies Source: A biographical sketch: the poetical meditations : and, poetical and religious harmonies
“It's hard to go. It's scary and lonely...and half the time you'll be wondering why the hell you're in Cincinnati or Austin or North Dakota or Mongolia or wherever your melodious little finger-plucking heinie takes you. There will be boondoggles and discombobulated days, freaked-out nights and metaphorical flat tires. But it will be soul-smashingly beautiful... It will open up your life.” LittlesSoulHardBeautifulNightHalfWonderHellLonelyFingersScaryFlatsTireMetaphoricalAustinDakotaMongoliaNorth DakotaFlat Tires Author:Cheryl Strayed
