“The organist was almost at the end of the anthem’s long introduction, and as the crescendo increases the cathedral began to glitter before my eyes until I felt as if every stone in the building was vibrating in anticipation of the sweeping sword of sound from the Choir.

The note exploded in our midst, and at that moment I knew our creator had touched not only me but all of us, just as Harriet had touched that sculpture with a loving hand long ago, and in that touch I sensed the indestructible fidelity, the indescribable devotion and the inexhaustible energy of the creator as he shaped his creation, bringing life out of dead matter, wresting form continually from chaos. Nothing was ever lost, Harriet had said, and nothing was ever wasted because always, when the work was finally completed, every article of the created process, seen or unseen, kept or discarded, broken or mended – EVERYTHING was justified, glorified and redeemed.”
― Susan Howatch

“How fathomless the mystery of the Unseen is! We cannot plumb its depths with our feeble senses - with eyes which cannot see the infinitely small or the infinitely great, nor anything too close or too distant, such as the beings who live on a star or the creatures which live in a drop of water... with ears that deceive us by converting vibrations of the air into tones that we can hear, for they are sprites which miraculously change movement into sound, a metamorphosis which gives birth to harmonies which turn the silent agitation of nature into song... with our sense of smell, which is poorer than any dog's... with our sense of taste, which is barely capable of detecting the age of a wine!

Ah! If we had other senses which would work other miracles for us, how many more things would we not discover around us!”
― Guy de Maupassant, Le Horla et autres contes fantastiques

within the confines of these walls,
away from the rage of metal.”

“As Einstein once said, “It is the theory which decides what can be observed.” But I must add that prior to theory there is what we call “thinking”—a systematic form of consciousness deeply driven by the unconscious that enables understanding and experimental predictions The parallel is expressed in John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (KJV). For humans, all beginnings are in thought or reason. And in the reductionist search for reality, science can only identify mind, first in thing shopped for, then in the assurance of unseen evidence.”
― Vernon L. Smith, The Evidence of Things Not Seen: Reflections on Faith, Science, and Economics

“I’ve come to understand that in this world, there are those who, in their untouchable privilege, believe that they’re entitled to a perfect life, and the perfect life they get is because they’re so deserving, so good, and true. Their crippled souls are blinded by a naivety that can only understand their life, their pain, their truth. These are the ones who look at us—the mermaids, the fairies, the unicorns—and see only that we don’t fit into their little box of what beauty and truth are. They make token gestures of kindness that are not about what we need, but about what they need to look good in their own eyes, and in the eyes of the world they have moulded to their shallow, selfish limits, leaving us—the magical, the different, the dreamers—feeling less than them; feeling unheard, unseen, and unloved.”
― J A Croome, The Sand People: a collection of magical realism and other stories

― Dark Night Beacon

“I stand for women.
I stand for men.
I stand for those the world ignores.
I stand for those who break, yet rise again.
I stand for the disabled, the lost, the poor.
I stand for the outcast, the unheard, the unseen.
I stand for children, for their dreams and their light.
I stand for the elderly, their wisdom, their fight.
I stand for freedom, for truth, for choice.
I stand for every race, every culture, every voice.
I stand for the weary, the hopeless, the scarred.
I stand for equality, no matter how hard.
I stand for justice, I stand for love, I stand for peace.
I stand, period.”
― N'Zuri Za Austin

“∞ The Unseen Universe

A Poem by Alexander Martini

We live within the universe.
Not far, not foreign.
But at its heart.

An ocean of stars,
a breath of light,
a vastness that never ends.

And yet — so many do not see it.
They rush through their days
as if through walls,
not noticing
that every moment
is a window into eternity.

The universe is not cold.
It is filled with joy,
with beauty,
with silence that sings.

We are not apart from it.
We are a part —
a tone in its melody,
a spark in its dance.

Whoever opens their eyes
finds not nothing,
but everything.
And knows:
Wonder was always here.”
― Alexander Martini

“In the woods I find not escape, but entrance, into the holy order of things. My smallness is not my shame, but my salvation. I walk on, less than I thought, more than I knew, carried by the stillness of the forest and the unseen wings above me.”
