#render

Life is very tough and fragile at the same time, it never backs down or surrenders, but will break open to reveal its beauty and ugliness. As a evening primrose that blooms in the flooding moonlight, just before being trampled upon underfoot by the four-legged frost of the night. ↗

if someone has just hurt you or broken your heart, if someone has just died, all the grace you need is there-waiting for you to receive it.

We had seen God in His splendors, heard the text that Nature renders. We had reached the naked soul of man. ↗

The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us. ↗
