Like sheaves of corn it gathers you unto itself.  It threshes you to make you naked.  It sifts you to free you from your husks.  It grinds you to whiteness.  It kneads you until you are pliant.  And then it assigns you to its sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God\'s sacred feast.  All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life\'s Heart.

Quotes from the same author

Every beauty and greatness in this world is created by a single thought or emotion inside a man. Every thing we see today, made by past generations, was, before its appearance, a thought in the mind of a man or an impulse in the heart of a woman.

For the sight of the angry weather saddens my soul and the sight of the town, sitting like a bereaved mother beneath layers of ice, oppresses my heart.
Let there be spaces in your togetherness
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
