“The Kingdom of Heaven is where God’s will is done. When God’s will is done on earth as it is in Heaven, we know God as the God of life and love; we enjoy direct, open communication with God; we enjoy life together with God and with people from every nation in a community of grace and gratitude.”
Dean Summers, Marching to Zion

“The world of dew
is the world of dew.
And yet, and yet--”
Issa Kobayashi, The Dumpling Field: Haiku of Issa

“Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”
Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

“From somewhere, back in my youth, heard Prof say, 'Manuel, when faced with a problem you do not understand, do any part of it you do understand, then look at it again.' He had been teaching me something he himself did not understand very well—something in math—but had taught me something far more important, a basic principle.”
