A mountain keeps an echo deep inside.
That's how I hold your voice.

Buddha 563-483 BC ~ Steve Winwood 1948- ...Arc Of A Diver

Three things cannot be long hidden:
The sun, the moon, and the truth.

Plato 427-347 BC ~ Barrett Strong 1941- & Norman Jesse Whitfield 1940-2008 ...Smiling Faces Sometimes ~ The Undisputed Truth

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 1821-1881 ~ Van Morrison 1945- ...Stranded

Let mystery have its place in you; do not be always
Turning up your whole soil with the ploughshare of self-examination,
But leave a little fallow corner in your heart
Ready for any seed the winds may bring...

Sarah Williams 1837–1868 ~ Solomon Burke 1940-2010 ...Flesh And Blood

Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

Paramahansa Yoganandi 1893-1952 ~ American Spiritual ...Wade In The Water ~ Eva Cassidy 1963-1996

The wave is the same as the ocean, though it is not the whole ocean.
So each wave of creation is a part of the eternal Ocean of Spirit.
The ocean can exist without the waves,
But the waves cannot exist without the ocean.

Sigmund Mowinckel 1884-1965 ~ Joni Mitchell 1943- ...For Free (with James Taylor 1948-)

For existence is an everlasting war between
The forces of life and death, blessing and curse.
The "world" is worn out if it is not regularly renewed,
As anyone can see by the animal course of life and nature...
The actualization of the fact of salvation is repeated as often as necessary.

Walter Brueggeman 1933- ~ Kurt Cobain 1967-1994 (Nirvana) ...Lake Of Fire

...Praise articulates and embodies our capacity to yield, to submit and
Abandon ourselves in trust and gratitude to the One whose we are.
Praise is not only a human requirement and a human need,
It is also a human delight - we have a resilient hunger to move beyond Self...

Paracelsus 1493-1591 ~ George Harrison 1943- 2001 ...Marwa Blues

Just as the sun shines through a glass...
The sun and the moon and all planets,
As well as all the stars and
Whole chaos, are in man.

The universal law in which is contained the ground-principle of all formative striving for
Beauty and completeness in the realms of both nature and art, and which permeates,
As a paramount spiritual ideal, all structures, forms and proportions,
Whether cosmic or individual, organic or inorganic, acoustic or optical;
Which finds its fullest realization, however, in the human form.

Jacob Bernoulli 1654-1705 ~ Blossom Dearie 1924-2009 ...Figure Eight

Although changed, I rise again the same.

Brian Swimme 1950- ~ Bob Dylan 1941- ...Mr Tambourine Man ~ Judy Collins 1939-

Imagine a great number of tiny bells hanging near each other.
If some of these are struck sharply,
They will transmit their own resonance throughout the ensemble.
No bell will remain the same, thus creating a new state for the whole of them.
Like these tiny bells that are each responsive to the whole,
Humankind is inextricably embedded in a universe of creativity -
Our independence is an illusion.
Creators serve as a vehicle through which information
Transfers from the infinitude (infinite to humankind)...
