I walked beyond my own shadow
out into the open space of an inner universe where
self-imposed boundaries recede.
|
|
Where is the
vitality
of potentiality?
(In the young,
of course,
but even
further back?)
Where are
the new seeds?
In the heart
of a dying
flower.

I awakened one
morning at the first chirp of a bird with my mind still fixed upon a
phrase that lingered from a dream all we need is each other.
Yes, I thought, as I got up to write it down, human reconciliation
might well be the essential key that unlocks the kingdom of God on
Earth! --BJ

 How
about a smoking brick, denoting the existential dilemma of
modern man's quest for a raison d'etre and his search for a
benevolent deity in a silent and hostile universe? Or
something like that.

I never travel
without my diary. One should always have something
sensational to read on the train.
Oscar Wilde
Never judge a book by its movie.
J. W. Eagan
It is the business of the future to be dangerous.
Alfred North Whitehead
He who has no inner life is the slave of his
surroundings.
Henri Frederic Amiel
An individual who has sufficient surety of his own
existence does not neet to prove he exists by hurting
other individuals.
Robert Theobald
Life is a very simple miracle, happiness is within the
reach of all, made to mans measure; it lasts a moment
and it is good.
Nikos Kazantzakis
So many angels it takes to get through the day.
Ronald Stefanik
Life begins on the far side of
despair.
Jean Paul Sartre

Get in touch with the
feeling that theres nothing wrong with you now, as you
are at this minute.
Dr. George Weinberg in the book SELF CREATION (one of
the best books I have read on dealing with depression
through the zen of doing.)
If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will
escape 100 days of sorrow. a Chinese proverb
Our destinies are decided by a cosmic roll of the dice,
the winds of the stars, the vagrant breezes of fortune
that blow from the windmills of the gods.
H. L. Dietrich in A FINAL DESTINY
I thank you God for most this amazing day: for the
leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream
of a sky; and for everything which is natural which is
infinite which is yes
e.e. cummings
... the ultimate truth of our interior life is our
absolute poverty, our radical dependence, our
unquenchable thirst, our desperate need to be loved.
Lorenzo Albacete

Love lifted me, is a phrase
from an old hymn that resonates in my soul. ( When nothing else
could help, love lifted me.) I know of no other way out of the mire
of despair and knowing that there is such a way make all the
difference.

Some things I have heard about
THE CELESTIAL CAROUSEL
from initial readership:
"t touched me."
"Provocative"
"Nothing in there is boring."
Some people report their pleasure in being
able to look at just one thought or page and put the book aside
'till next time. Others have expressed appreciation for the variety
afforded by the inclusion of quotations from different writers and
sources. Hey, I read it myself now and then, and in my opinion, it's
a great little coffee table or gift item book, good looking and
substantive. If you'd like a copy, just send $20, which includes
mailing costs. Plus, I'll autograph each copy that goes out. |
