Divine Scraps

Even the enlightened are on their way.

The saints always talk about the saints, and say,
"They are no different from us, really."

You cannot inject peace into a situation,
but you can take conflict out of it.

If you do not relax, the mirror will not reflect your face.

The puzzle you have in hand can only be solved by putting it down.

If you can throw it away, it's a keeper.

You might be a Christian... if you shrug off the religion, and it attaches itself to you nonetheless.

I keep giving up, and finding Him!

I tried to pray,
but I broke into song...
Was this the reason for,
and the answer to,
my prayer,
all along?

Who loves Love, loves All.

It is the nature of error to be certain. The very instant you stop pretending to be wise, you have become a holy fool.

Put off your priestly garb, cast aside your unholy airs, and walk in the dust with Our Lord.

A false saint is too proud to receive applause,
while a true saint is too humble to accept rebuke.

"Take up your cross?" How do we take it up? Paradoxically, by putting it down.

There is no adventure but surrender.

What are they fighting over? A clod of dirt. A dry turd. Never anything.

Going into battle is only fleeing in defeat. Put down your sword, and take up your cup; drink with the victors, for whom the contest is done. There is no crusade, no great quest. The Holy Grail is whatever cup lies closest to your hand.

All who live by the sword live by the sword. Does it matter how they die?

We can add, even to God. --
The words of the wise are dead,
if we do not AMENd them.

Bring heaven down to earth -- why search the skies, when God is in the faces of the ones we love?

It doesn't matter, but don't give up.

A man inspired by God is God.

Every line is all I have.
Every exhalation deflates me,
and I must draw on Thee.

Silence speaks endless volumes.
