It now seemed to me that all my other guesses had been only self-pleasing dreams spun out of my wishes but now I was awake.

God takes everyone he loves through a desert. It is his cure for our wandering hearts restlessly searching for a new Eden... The best gift of the desert is Gods presence... The protective love of the Shepherd gives me courage to face the interior journey.

Fully inhale your dream and completely exhale manifestation of it.

For some people their fear to lose is greater than their desire to succeed so they end up doing nothing and their dreams become impossible.

This is the most immediate fruit of exile of uprooting the prevalence of the unreal over the real. Everyone dreamed past and future dreams of slavery and redemption of improbable paradises of equally mythical and improbable enemies cosmic enemies perverse and subtle who pervade everything like the air.

Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.

My final word dont follow your dreams . . . chase them. With a stick or a shovel or whatever you have handy. Get that bleeping dream

If I ask God to punish my enemy with vengeful prayersthen He is fair to allow the enemy to do the same for me.

Prayer is beyond any question the highest activity of the human soul. Man is at his greatest and highest when upon his knees he comes face to face with God.

Of all the things a man may do sleep probably contributes most to keeping him sane. It puts brackets about each day. If you do something foolish or painful today you get irritated if somebody mentions it today. If it happened yesterday though you can nod or chuckle as the case may be. Youve crossed through nothingness or dream to another island in Time.
