Hurry means that we gather impressions but have no experiences, that we collect acquaintances but make no friends, that we attend meetings but experience no encounter. We must recover eternity if we are to find time, and eternity is what Jesus came to restore. For without it, there can be no charity. ↗

اعتقادي أن هناك وعدا آخر.. ثمة شخص جمع الأوغاد والأفاقين وفاقدي الهمة من أرجاء الأرض في وطن قومي واحد هو مصر .. لهذا لا تجد في اليابان فاقد همة .. لهذا لا تجد في ألمانيا وغدا .. لهذا لا تجد في الأرجنتين أفاقا .. كلهم هنا يا صاحبي!" هتف في دهشة وهو يطلق أبخرة الحشيش " -"يا سلام .. هناك من وعد الـ..." ثم لم يستكمل العبارة لأن رأسه مال علي صدره ونام .. خيط لعاب يسيل على ذقنه.. ↗

It's been my experience that only children never learn when to keep their fucking traps shut. An older brother would have beat that out of you. ↗

Seeing David was a full-body experience. I felt heavy and light at the same time. He gives me butterflies, but they aren’t butterflies. They’re bigger and darker and scarier, like crows. They’re dangerous. And did Bill ever give me butterflies? ↗

In a number of workshops, I have asked people whether they have had one or more experiences that they would identify as an experience of God and, if so, to share them in small groups. On average, 80 percent of the participants identify one or more and are eager to talk about them. They also frequently report that they had never before been asked that question in a church setting or given an opportunity to talk about it. ↗

There is now, in my mouth, this sharp chain. And it never comes out. ↗

This new co-consciousness brought me to a state of awareness in which my core personality was directly able to experience "her" personality. Being co-conscious with her, he explained, would stop me from experiencing the feeling of leaving my body or dissociating. ↗

Everyone on this planet has a unique experience. Nothing travels the exact same path through time. Therefore everyone and everything in this universe is notable. In my opinion, to say otherwise is more than a little shortsighted and lacks perspective. ↗

Survivors are damaged to different degrees by their experiences. This does not depend on what happened physically. A Survivor who has been raped will not necessarily be more damaged than a Survivor who has been touched. The degree of damage depend on the degree of traumatic sexualization, stigmatization, betrayal and powerlessness, the child has experienced. This in turn depends on a number of factors such as: * who the abuser was; * how many abusers were involved; * if the abuser was same-sex or opposite sex; * what took place; * what was said; * how long the abuse went on for; * How the child felt and how she interpreted what was happening; * if the child was otherwise happy and supported; * how other people reacted to the disclosure or discovery of the abuse; * how old the child was ↗
