There is a certain mysticism in the Christian's affirmation of the physical universe. There is a confidence that whatever is discovered conforms with Jesus Christ and is a manifestation of His will. ↗

The hollowness in his chest, the tense yearning, the loneliness he braces against, every morning until he can immerse himself in work and forget. Not love. Something else, something with a power that endures. Not love, but a memory of love. ↗

On my way home from the junior high, I would sometimes stop at the edge of our property and watch my mother ride the ride-on mower, looping in and out among the pine trees, and I could remember then how she used to whistle in the mornings as she made her tea and how my father, rushing home on Thursdays, would bring her marigolds and her face would light up in yellowy in delight. They had been deeply, separately, wholly in love- apart from her children my mother could reclaim this love, but with them she began to drift. It was my father who grew toward us as the years went by; it was my mother who grew away. ~pg 153; love ↗

If I can't read, if I can't make a simple Indian pudding, then I don't see the point in living much more, really. Because aside from a good book, and perhaps, a fresh morning in a dew-covered garden, few things in life give me as much pleasure as magic of making a truly spectacular dessert. ↗

در کمین اندوه هستم ,بانو مرا دریاب ,به خانه ببر ,گلی را فراموش کرده ام ,که بر چهره ام نمی تابید زخم های من دهان گشوده اند ,همه ی روزگار پر، از , ,اندوه بود بانو مرا قطره قطره دریاب ,در این خانه جای سخن نیست زبان بستم عمری گذشت ,مرا از این خانه به باغ ببر ,سرنوشت من ,به بدگمانی ,به خوناب دل خاموشی لب ,اشک های من بسته ,بر صورت من است ,هیچکس یورش دل را در خانه ندید ,بانو من به خانه آمدم و دیدم ,که عشق چگونه ,فرو می ریزد و قلب در اوج رها می شود ,و بر کف باغچه می ریزد ,بانو مرا دریاب ما شب چراغ نبودیم ما در شب باختیم احمدرضا احمدي ↗
