Rigel, Betelgeuse, and Orion. There was no finer church, no finer choir, than the stars speaking in silence to the many consumptives silently condemned, a legion upon the dark rooftops. The wind came down from the north like a runner in lacrosse, violent and hard, to batter every living thing. They were there, each one alone in conversation with the stars, mining ephemeral love from cold and distant light. ↗

True spirituality will be reveled to you as soon as you become aware of how important you are to all, every single person you come across, every animal and every single situation is part of the spirituality you are seeking, every day is spirituality, every single word and action are spirituality, you are spirituality, we all are. Stop seeking something magical or super natural, true spirituality is experienced every day, in all the ordinary ways we live our lives. Awake now. ↗

The speculative thinker makes Christianity into theology, instead of recognizing that a living relationship to Christ involves passion, struggle, decision, personal appropriation, and inner transformation.' (Moore's summary of Kierkegaard) ↗
That which we cannot speak of is the one thing about whom and to whom we must never stop speaking. ↗
The argument is made that naming God is never really naming God but only naming our understanding of God. To take our ideas of the divine and hold them as if they correspond to the reality of God is thus to construct a conceptual idol built from the materials of our mind. ↗
Meditating on the nature and dignity of prayer can cause saying at least one thing to God: Lord, teach us to pray! ↗
When love and hate are both absent, everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the slightest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth, then hold no opinions for or against anything. To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind. ↗
