I know I don't post anything of interest on here anymore...so, check out allijoy.blogspot.com for the up to date life story of...me...
That is, if you care.
In the meantime, here are two quotes I came across that I really like:
Living in the Shadow
Peter Abrahams <-no clue who he is.
To live with the conscious knowledge of the shadow of uncertainty, with the knowledge that disaster or tragedy could strike at any time; to be afraid and to know and acknowledge your fear, and still to live creatively and with unstinting love: that is to live with grace.
They Whose Souls Burn
Jalal al-Din Rumi: 1207 - 1273 (some Muslim dude)
I look not only at tongue and speech;
I look at the spirit and the inward feeling.
I look into the heart to see whether it be lowly...
Enough of phrases and conceits and metaphors!
I want burning, burning...
Light up a fire of love in thy soul,
Burn all thought and expression away!
Moses, they that know the conventions are of one sort;
They whose souls burn are of another.
