Ralph Waldo Trine 1866-1958 ~ The Youngbloods (Jessie Colin Young 1941- )...Darkness, Darkness

Let there be many windows in your soul that all the glory of the universe may beautify it.
Not the narrow pane of one poor creed can catch the radiant rays that shine from countless sources.
Tear away the blinds of superstition; let the light pour through the fair windows
Broad as truth itself and high as heaven...
Tune your ear to all the wordless music of the stars and to the voice of nature,
And your heart shall turn to truth and goodness as the plant turns to the sun.
A thousand unseen hands reach down to help you to their peace-crowned heights
And all the forces of the firmament shall fortify your strength.
Be not afraid to thrust aside half-truths and grasp the whole.

Rabindranath Tagore 1861-1941 ~ Tom Petty 1954- ...Wildflowers

The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.
It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.

Hildegarde of Bingen 1098-1179 ~ Daniel Lanois 1950- ...The Maker ~ Jerry Garcia 1942-1995

All of creation is a song of praise to God.
