A visit through the curios of the human condition. There's always something within us that we wish were different.
Oh dear, I'm soooo behind on commenting!!!🤦🏻♀️ This was one of my favorites. I'll be sharing a few of my favorite passages hopefully sometime this week!
These were the two passages that spoke to me the most. "...a heart was occasionally brought hither of such exquisite material, so delicately attempered, and so curiously wrought, that no other heart could be found to match it."
"The holy and generous wish, that rises like incense from a pure heart towards heaven, often lavishes its sweet perfume on the blast of evil times."
