[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar II, post: 107740, member: 4391"] "I will this morning climb up in spirit to the high places and there, bearing the hopes and the miseries of my mother, I will call down the Fire." Teilhard de Chardin Cool, huh? I can't find the exact quote, but you get the idea. And here is one just for you, GG. This is Maria Harris, from Dance of the Spirit. "We begin to look at things and people with more care, hearing words and music not heard, before. Layers, crusts, and shells which may have been built up over years become brittle, break apart, and begin to disappear. Muscles relax. And a realization dawns that a personal daystar has begun to shine, giving us its light." Maria Harris likens times of transition to journeying through a desert, GG. And here are a couple more. This one is from my favorite author, Charles Williams. He was great friends with C.S. Lewis, as a matter of fact. And with Tolkien. Anyway, here it is: "Perhaps, the phoenix cries, as it burns." [img]:smile:[/img] I love that. And here is another cool one, from a Stephen Hoeller: "A pilgrim of Eternity am I, homeword bound among the stars." And here is one from Monique Wittig (Les Geurilleres) that I think you will like. "There was a time when you were not a slave. Remember that. You walked alone, full of laughter, you bathed bare-bellied. You say you have lost all recollection of it ~ remember. You know how to avoid meeting a bear on the track. You know the winter fear when you can hear the wolves gathering. But you can remain seated for hours in treetops to await morning. You say there are no words to describe this time. You say it does not exist. But remember. Make an effort to remember. Or, failing that, invent." Barbara [/QUOTE]
