“That is longing: To dwell in the flux of things, To have no home in the present. And these are wishes: gentle dialogues Of the poor hours with eternity.” HomeWishHoursPoorEternityLongingDialogueGentleFlux Book:Poems Source: Poems
“Why should you worry whether God wants you to reach the heavenly home by way of the desert or by the fields, when by the one as well as by the other one arrives all the same at a Blessed Eternity? Keep far from you excessive preoccupation which arises from the trials which the good God wishes to visit upon you.” WayWantShouldWellsHomeSufferingWishWorryFieldsEternityBlessedTrialsAriseDesertHeavenlyPreoccupationGood GodHeavenly Home Author:Pio of Pietrelcina
“Does not Eternity appear dreadful to you. I often get to thinking of it and it seems so dark to me that I almost wish there was no Eternity. To think that we must forever live and never cease to be. It seems as if Death would be a relief to so endless a state of existence.” IfsThinkingDoeStatesSeemsWould BeWishDarkExistenceForeverAtheismEternityPositive AtheismEndlessCeaseRelief Author:Emily Dickinson
“Let me define a garden as the meeting of raw nature and the human imagination in which both seek the fulfillment of their beauty. Every sign indicates that nature wants us and wishes for collaboration with us, just as we long for nature to be fulfilled in us. If our original state was to live in a garden, as Adam and Eve did, then a garden signals our absolute origins as well as our condition of eternity, while life outside the garden is time and temporality.” IfsWantHumansWellsLongStatesTimeWishImaginationBeautyConditionsGardenLet MeEternityAbsolutesOriginalsMeetingsFulfillmentCollaborationAdamFulfilledSignalsWant UAdam And EveHuman ImaginationTemporality Author:Thomas Moore
