“何其特別的經歷一一禱告和默觀可以打開眼界,看見大 自然的實相;而大自然的實相,令人更能注意上帝的引領。我曾經以為默觀最好在隱修院或內室的寂靜中進行,如今我知道了,大自然也可以是我們默觀的同伴-你不再嘗試限 制或操控你的生命或你的小小世界,相反,你變得對上帝的臨在益加敏銳;你不再漠視或轄制大自然,企圖征服它、擁有它,相反,你會輕撫它;你不再檢視它,而是愛慕它。因此,大自然向你啟示它自己,是經過更新改變的一一大自然 不再是禱告的攔阻,而是明辨的利器;不再是刀槍不入的盾牌,而是揭開的幔子,讓你窺看不可知的領域 讓大自然説話可以開啟辨明上帝同在的新境界,這境界是人不大察覺的。樹和星說了甚麼?有時候,我們實在需要花時間在森林中走走,不論走過的是璀璨新生的明亮,還是濃淡灰影的質樸;然後,求上帝向我們啟示祂的作為、旨意、性情" .”

“I feel like someone breathed new air into my lungs. I am not Abnegation. I am not Dauntless.
I am Divergent.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“The job of a good dog was ultimately to be with them, remaining by their sides no matter what course their lives might take. All I could do now was offer him comfort, the assurance that as he left this life he was not alone but rather was tended by the dog who loved him more than anything in the whole world.”
― W. Bruce Cameron, A Dog's Purpose

“My purpose, my whole life, had been to love him and be with him, to make him happy. I didn’t want to cause any unhappiness now—in that way, I decided it was probably better than he wasn’t here to see this, though I missed him so much at that moment the ache of it was as bad as the strange pains in my belly.”
― W. Bruce Cameron, A Dog's Purpose
