“If I believe in anything, it is in the dark night of the soul. Awe is my religion, and mystery is its church.”
Charles Simic

Thomas Merton
“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them”
Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island

Thomas Merton
“Our idea of God tells us more about ourselves than about Him.”
Thomas Merton

Charles Simic
“The plain truth is we are going to die. Here I am, a teeny spec surrounded by boundless space and time, arguing with the whole of creation, shaking my fist, sputtering, growing even eloquent at times, and then-poof! I am gone. Swept off once and for all. I think that is very, very funny.”
Charles Simic
