Reflections
The Buddha: Which is greater in the cycle of life, the tears you have shed this long, long time, crying and weeping from being joined with what is displeasing, being separated from what is pleasing – or the water of the four great oceans?
Reflections
The light for which the world longs is already shining. It is shining into the darkness, but the darkness does not apprehend it. It is shining into the darkness, but the darkness is not overcoming it. It is shining in many a soul, and already the new order has begun within the kingdom of the heart. It is shining in many a small group and creating a heavenly-earthly fellowship of children of the light. It will always shine and lead many into the world of need, that they may bear it up into the heart of God.
Thomas Kelly, Quaker, in 1941.
