And, most of all, shameful though it might be, I loved his love for me.

We seal the pages with salt water and promises to live well to make their death count.
It is a good practice to write at least on page of mantra daily. Many people get better concentration by writing than by chanting.

You may not be certain yet whether you ought to be a Christian; but you do know you ought to be a Man, not an ostrich, hiding its head in the sand.

Raymond Hendler exhibited a group of abstract paintings that displayed rare high spirits. Using a great deal of fresh white, Hendler devised extremely simple symbols which he dispersed felicitously on his shining grounds.
