Worth Contemplating

"People are like stained-glass windows.  They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."
- Elisabeth-Kubler-Ross, as quoted in Ties That Bind by Marie Bostwick

Worth Contemplating

"... the deposit of love in every dish is as rich as the deposits of minerals and nutrients in the good earth that nurtures our food."

 

"Mom used to say, 'Don't good when you're unhappy.  Someone will taste it and think you don't love them.' "

Book Excerpts

"The (false) suspicion that we can somehow be separated from God is the root of every form of anxiety in the universe, and the cure for it... is the knowledge that nothing can tear us from God, ever."

"If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things."
- Rene Descartes
