P Quotes

“Down the narrow trail
to the sound of sea lions
barking their belonging,
we wandered into their world,
the one we thought was ours.”
― Don Hynes, Something Will Change Me: Poems of Soul and Spirit

“The earth says have a place, be what that place
requires; hear the sound the birds imply
and see as deep as ridges go behind
each other.”
― William Stafford, The Way It Is: New and Selected Poems

“مرداب
شب سیاهی کرد و بیماری گرفت
دیده را طغیان بیماری گرفت
دیده از دیدن نمیماند ، دریغ
دیده پوشیدن نمیداند ، دریغ
رفت و در من مرگزاری کهنه یافت
هستیم را انتظاری کهنه یافت
آن بیابان دید و تنهائیم را
ماه و خو.رشید مقوائیم را
چون جنینی پیر ، بازهدان به جنگ
میدرد دیوار زهدان را به چنگ
زنده ، اما حسرت زادن در او
مرده ، اما میل جاندادن در او
خودپسند از درد خود نا خواستن
خفته از سودای بر پا خاستن
خنده ام غمناکی بیهوده ای
ننگم از دلپاکی بیهوده ای
غربت سنگینم از دلدادگیم
شور تند مرگ در همخوابگیم
نامده هرگز فرود از بام خویش
در فرازی شاهد اعدام خویش
کرم خاک و خاکش اما بویناک
بادبادکهاش در افلاک پاک
ناشناس نیمهء پنهانیش
شرمگین چهرهء انسانیش
کوبکو در جستجوی جفت خویش
میدود ، معتاد بوی جفت خویش
جویدش گهگاه و ناباور از او
جفتش اما سخت تنهاتر از او
هر دو در بیم و هراس از یکدگر
تلخکام و ناسپاس از یکدگر
عشقشان ، سودای محکومانه ای
وصلشان ، رؤیای مشکوکانه ای


آه اگر راهی به دریائیم بود
از فرو رفتن چه پروائیم بود
گر به مردابی ز جریان ماند آب
از سکون خویش نقصان یابد آب
جانش اقلیم تباهی ها شود
ژرفنایش گور ماهی ها شود


آهوان ، ای آهوان دشتها
گاه اگر در معبر گلگشت ها
جویباری یافتید آوازخوان
رو به استغنای دریاها روان
جاری از ابریشم جریان خویش
خفته بر گردونهء طغیان خویش
یال اسب باد در چنگال او
روح سرخ ماه در دنبال او
ران سبز ساقه ها را میگشود
عطر بکر بوته ها را میربود
بر فرازش ، در نگاه هر حباب
انعکاس بیدریغ آفتاب
خواب آن بیخواب را یاد آورید
مرگ در مرداب را یاد آورید”
― Forough Farrokhzad

“All the boundaries of the world disappeared after a good snow. Nathan had always noticed that. The seemingly sturdy, dependable dividing lines between his yard and his neighbor's yard, or the sidewalk and the street, simply disappeared. Erased by white.

As if the world were advising him not to put too much faith in such markings. That perhaps these lines had never been entirely real to begin with.”
― Catherine Ryan Hyde, When I Found You

“They may call you "Stupid" because of what you've done in the past. Hey, you are going to be "Prominent" because of what the Lord has done. The stupid "S" in Saul was exchange to become the Prominent "P" in Paul... and you ask why? It's because of what the Lord has done, Give thanks!”
― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“Check your pockets, my chimney-child.”

“... P doth protest to much. It would be one thing if P were merely silent about Midian. But P is hostile to Midian. Its author tells a story of a complete massacre of the Midianites. He wants no Midianites around. And he especially wants no Midianite women around. This author buried the Moses-Midian connection. We can know why he did this. Practically all critical scholars ascribe this Priestly work to the established priesthood at Jerusalem. For most of the biblical period, that priesthood traced its ancestry to Aaron, the first high priest. It was a priesthood of Levites, but not the same Levites who gave us the E text. Some, including me, ascribe the E text to Levites who traced their ancestry to Moses. These two Levite priestly houses, the Aaronids and the Mushites, were engaged in struggles for leadership and in polemic against each other. The E (Mushite) source took pains, as we have seen to connect Moses' Midianite family back to Abraham. That is understandable. E was justifying the Mushite Levites' line in Israel's history. And it is equally understandable why their opponents, the Aaronids, cast aspersions on any Midianite background. That put a cloud over any Levites, or any text, that claimed a Midianite genealogy. We all could easily think of parallel examples in politics and religion in history and today.”
― Richard Elliott Friedman, The Exodus

“In a dark silent room
I sit all alone
Feeling only the pain and
With uncontrollable tears

The floral bed sheets I'm covered in
Fails to offer the warmth and comfort

I’m trapped
Underneath the blankets
Screaming and tormenting
I'm passing the nights”
― Jyoti Patel, The Curved Rainbow

“Man is Brahma. But it does not stand if anybody utters that ‘I am Brahma’. It should manifest in a man then only it will be significant. And the proof lies when this blessed man manifests within the human beings as ‘Bibhu’ or ‘Paramatma’ or ‘Supreme one’. This has crossed individualism and attained Universalism.”
― Sri Jibankrishma or Diamond

“Kids. I lowered my phone. Closed my eyes. Planted my feet and started the slow breathing my VA counselor had taught me.

One... I'd been doing well. Exercising. Eating healthy. Two... maybe drinking too much. Okay, definitely drinking too much. But... three... nothing worse. Not even cigarettes. Going to every brutal therapy session and doing as I was told... four... with the faith that eventually it would make things better instead of worse.

Five. I opened my eyes. “We're still good,” I whispered.

Say it till it’s true.”
― Barbara Nickless, Dead Stop
