Life's glorious ascent.

Life is a steep climb, and it does the heart good to have somebody “call back” and cheerily beckon us on up the high hill. -LB Cowman

On learnings...

 The author or speaker from whom you learn the most is not the one who teaches you something you didn’t know before, but the one who helps you take a truth with which you have quietly struggled, give it expression, and speak it clearly and boldly. -Oswald Chambers

the "insane" man. a trope.

There was once an insane man, taken into police custody for accosting strangers. Only the most skilled lawyer could see what had happened: when the people came close to the man, they each accidentally, and without realizing it, each, had stood on the tip of his necktie, which, each time, drove the man into a kind of belated fury. Before the truth was known, they had all complained about him, both the left and right-leaning media types.

The soul's dark night.

We forget so easily that in the spiritual life there must be the darkness of the night before there can be the radiance of the dawn. Before the life of resurrection can be known, there must be the death that ends the dominion of self. -AW Tozer

"The soul stirs..."

Every real discovery made, every serious and significant decision ever reached, was reached and made by divination. The soul stirs, and makes an act of pure attention, and that is a discovery. -DH Lawrence

Borrow some of my positivity, my friends, I lend it to you friendly, I only ask that some point in the future, you might return the favor when I am in need.

And if not, that's okay too.

The calm lake and the heavens.

The lake must be calm if the heavens are to be reflected on its surface. -LB Cowman
 

Life without struggle.

Life without war is impossible in the natural or the supernatural realm. It is a fact that there is a continuing struggle in the physical, mental, moral, and spiritual areas of life. -Oswald Chambers
