Place your soul in the brilliance of glory!
Place your heart in the figure of the divine substance!
And transform your entire being into the
Image of the Godhead Itself through contemplation.

Eleanor Roosevelt 1884-1962 ~ Rob Garza & Eric Hilton: Thievery Corporation ...Revoloution Solution ~ Perry Farrell 1959-

The big question before our people today is whether we are to be more material in our thinking,
Judging administrative success by its economic results entirely and leaving out all other achievements.
History shows that a nation interested primarily in material things invariably is on a downward path.
Great wealth has ruined every nation since the day Cheops laid the cornerstone of the Great Pyramid,
Not because of any inherant wrong in wealth, but because it became the ideal and idol of the people.
Phoenicia, Carthage, Greece, Rome, Spain all bear witness to this truth.

Ecclesiates 3:1 ~ Steven Tyler 1948- (Aerosmith) ...Seasons Of Wither

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Makes every tree and frozen lake gleam on this silver night.

George Elliot (Mary Anne Evans) 1819-1880 ~ Woodie Guthrie 1912-1967 ...This Land Is Your Land

O may I join the choir invisible of those immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their presence: live in pulses stirred to generosity,
In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn for miserable aims that end with self,
In thoughts sublime that pierce the night like stars, and with their mild persistence
Urge man's search to vaster issues. So to live in Heaven;
To make undying music in the World!

She spired into a yellow flame, she flowered in blossom red;
She flowed into a foaming wave, she stood Monadnoc's head.

Minnie Lou Haskins 1875-1957 ~ Zager & Evans (Rick Evans 1943- ) ...In The Year 2525

I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year,
"Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown"
And he replied, "Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God;
That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way!"
So I went forth and finding the hand of God, trod gladly into the night.
He led me towards the hills and the breaking of day in the lone east.
So heart be still! What need our human life to know if God hath comprehension?
In all the dizzy strife of things both high and low, God hideth his intention.
