• Pronto el ojo claro del niño se nubla con ideas y opiniones, preconceptos y abstracciones. El simple ser libre se incrusta con la pesada armadura del ego. No es hasta años más tarde cuando llega el instinto de que se ha retirado un sentido vital del misterio. El sol resplandece entre los pinos y el corazón se traspasa en un momento de belleza y extraño dolor, como un recuerdo del paraíso. Después de ese día, nos convertimos en buscadores.

• Tómatelo a pecho y no dudes de que fuiste tú quien mató a Cristo. Tus pecados ciertamente lo hicieron, y cuando veas los clavos clavados en sus manos, ten por seguro que estás reflexionando, y cuando las espinas atraviesen su frente, sabe que son tus malos pensamientos.

• La belleza es trascendente. Es nuestra experiencia más inmediata de lo eterno. Piensa en lo que se siente al contemplar una magnífica puesta de sol o el océano al amanecer. Recuerda el final de una gran historia. Anhelamos quedarnos, experimentarlo todos nuestros días. A veces, la belleza es tan profunda que nos penetra la nostalgia. ¿De qué? Por la vida tal y como debe ser. La belleza nos recuerda un Edén que nunca hemos conocido, pero para el que nuestros corazones fueron creados.

• Es obra de Satanás llenar de dudas los corazones de los hombres. Los induce a considerar a Dios como un juez severo. Los tienta a pecar, y luego a considerarse demasiado viles para acercarse a su Padre celestial o para despertar su compasión. El Señor comprende todo esto. Jesús asegura a sus discípulos que Dios se compadece de ellos en sus necesidades y debilidades. Ni un suspiro se exhala, ni un dolor se siente, ni una pena traspasa el alma, sino que el latido vibra hasta el corazón del Padre.

• When the sun shouts and people abound One thinks there were the ages of stone and the age of bronze And the iron age; iron the unstable metal; Steel made of iron, unstable as his mother; the tow-ered-up cities Will be stains of rust on mounds of plaster. Roots will not pierce the heaps for a time, kind rains will cure them, Then nothing will remain of the iron age And all these people but a thigh-bone or so, a poem Stuck in the world's thought, splinters of glass In the rubbish dumps, a concrete dam far off in the mountain.

• Our beliefs are rooted deep in our earth, no matter what you have done to it and how much of it you have paved over. And if you leave all that concrete unwatched for a year or two, our plants, the native Indian plants, will pierce that concrete and push up through it.

• Sarcasm is not the rapier of wit its wielders seem to believe it to be, but merely a club: it may, by dint of brute force, occasionally raise bruises, but it never cuts or pierces.

• It is a rare person who can pierce the veil between ordinarly life, consumed with matters of physical survival, and pursuit of the empowered path of purpose and meaning unless he or she is motivated by a crisis.
