When someone loves you the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable.

When we love we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are everything around us becomes better too.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that.

You could have had anything else in the world and you asked for me.She smiled up at him. Filthy as he was covered in blood and dirt he was the most beautiful thing shed ever seen.But I dont want anything else in the world.

Ive been making a list of the things they dont teach you at school. They dont teach you how to love somebody. They dont teach you how to be famous. They dont teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They dont teach you how to walk away from someone you dont love any longer. They dont teach you how to know whats going on in someone elses mind. They dont teach you what to say to someone whos dying. They dont teach you anything worth knowing.

Strange is it not how even those of us who scoff at divine intervention will fall to our knees and clasp our hands the moment we realize our futures are defined by uncertainty and hazard. A thoughtful man would never leave his knees. A wise man would never drop to them. In any case it wasnt really a prayer but one does like to follow convention now and then.

The things good Lord that we pray for give us the grace to labour for as Sir Thomas More expressed it. The inner voice of prayer expresses itself naturally in action just as the inner voice of my brain guides all my bodily actions.

I beseech Christ for this one thing only that He will enable me to endure all things courageously and that He break me as a potters vessel or make me strong as it pleases Him.

He splashed into the water his whole body not with the reverent attitude of prayer but with a desperate thirst he buried his head under the water and drank deep with his cheek against the cold stone of the riverbed the water tumbling over his back his calves. He drank and drank lifted his head and shoulders above the water to gasp in the evening air and then collapsed into the water again to drink as greedily as before.It was a kind of prayer though he realized as he emerged freezing cold as the water evaporated from his skin in the breeze of the dark morning.I am with you he said to the Oversoul. Ill do whatever you ask because I long for you to accomplish your purpose here.
