Quote Left Lord, 'tis Thy plenty-dropping hand That soils my land; And giv'st me, for my bushel sown, Twice ten for one; Thou mak'st my teeming hen to lay Her egg each day; Besides my healthful ewes to bear Me twins each year; The while the conduits of my kine Run cream, for wine. All these, and better, Thou dost send Me, to this end, That I should render, for my part, A thankful heart... Quote Right
Quote Left The old brown hen and the old blue sky, Between the two we live and die The broken cartwheel on the hill. Quote Right
Quote Left [T]hose who claim to care about the well-being of human beings and the preservation of our environment should become vegetarians for that reason alone. They would thereby increase the amount of grain available to feed people everywhere, reduce pollution, save water and energy, and cease contributing to the clearing of forests; moreover, since a vegetarian diet is cheaper than one based on meat dishes, they would have more money available to devote to famine relief, population control, or whatever social or political cause they thought most urgent. …[W]hen non-vegetarians say that 'human problems come first,' I cannot help wondering what exactly it is that they are doing for human beings that compels them to continue to support the wasteful, ruthless exploitation of farm animals. Quote Right
Quote Left The partisan proposal that Republican leaders outlined yesterday is completely unacceptable, ... House Democrats will not participate in a sham that is just the latest example of congressional Republicans being the foxes guarding the president's hen house. Quote Right
Quote Left We need the tonic of wildness, to wade sometimes in marshes where the bittern and the meadow-hen lurk, and hear the booming of the snipe; to smell the whispering sedge where only some wilder and more solitary fowl builds her nest, and the mink crawls with its belly close to the ground. Quote Right
Quote Left Not having known anything better does not alleviate the suffering of the animal. Its fundamental desires remain and it is the frustration of those desires that is a great part of its suffering. There are so many examples: the dairy cow who is never allowed to raise her young, the battery hen who can never walk or stretch her wings, the sow who can never build a nest or root for food in the forest litter, etc. Eventually we frustrate the animal's most fundamental desire of all - to live. Quote Right

Quote Left Matthew 23:37: 'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.' (NIV)

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, murdering the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a mother fowl gathers her brood under her wings, and you refused! (AMP)

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (KJV)

Quote Left A miracle in all of nature found, when we see things through our own miraculous eyes and transcending hearts. Quote Right
Quote Left It is all about consciousness -- truth is, there is no space between, then, here, future and eternity. We just don't see it all at once...as God sees it. Someday humanity will. Quote Right
Quote Left Who knows how one's story will unfold, will love last, only Heaven knows. One things for sure, keep, romance alive, then there's a chance love will survive. Quote Right
Quote Left Hmm...indeed sometimes lies -- and the heart can lie even when thinking truth...even the marriage vow, till death do us part (the priest his own Christian contradiction). No one really knows the deeper nature of the heart. Does it start with a beat of flesh? Or its own spiritual continuance possessing form whatever? Time will less tell than Heaven and Hell. Quote Right
Quote Left The mind is a danger if left to wander, going after all that it wants to plunder, haunting its hunger like a mad hunter, flexing its power and then to ponder— Did it make a mistake? Quote Right

Quote Left Love is what you have left...when everything else is let go. Quote Right
Quote Left We are born with inner power...often released when least expected -- not an intellectual awakening but a spiritual one. One teaches us, while the latter transforms us. Quote Right
Quote Left I thought you loved me; then I watched your behavior and realized it was not love but love fraud. Quote Right
Quote Left "Sometime life is unseen. What remains then shows up." Quote Right
Quote Left Sometimes the Sun really burns me -- too clear, a blabber of truth...while the moon a bit more sympathetic, willing to hide some blemishes, though a great-deal more deceptive when it comes to matters of heart. Quote Right
Quote Left To open oneself up completely, with our fears, our weaknesses, our strengths, our love, is the risk we take in human form. We trust that familiarity will not lead to contempt, but that our subconscious will strengthen this thing we call love. As long as the ego is kept out of the equation by the will of our spiritual nature. Quote Right
Quote Left I was a graveyard, you came as prayer, then left me as ghost. Quote Right
Quote Left What is awake, if not open to our own growth and new inspiration which when in tune with spirit is infinite? Awake should simply mean alert and nothing more. Only a fool thinks he really knows anything. Quote Right
Quote Left I ran a poem of mine through AI just for analysis, not to change or improve anything -- the opinion was frightening. Better than any person I have encountered, as if this thing was inside my head. The next generation really does have something to worry about. We are dinosaurs my friends -- hope our bones will retain truth enough to inspire when we are gone, to be really read as they are dug up and carefully dusted, by facsimiles of living souls. Quote Right
Quote Left Indeed, no limit to personal development. We imagine...and then will. All that God is, we are, substance of his being inseparable. Christ is our relatable doorway to ever greater glory realized. Quote Right
Quote Left There are people who read books only to finish them. Then there are people who read people the same way. Quote Right
Quote Left In the words of the late Mae West, "When choosing between two evils, I prefer the one that I do not know." Quote Right
Quote Left When duty becomes a daily chore, life become heavy and burdensome - a thistle lodged in the flesh; but when borne with love and sacrifice, it becomes a perfect beauty. Quote Right
Quote Left “Life does not become meaningful when everything is perfect; it becomes meaningful when we learn to find purpose in every imperfection.” Quote Right
Quote Left If some things come in, then there must be a way out, And if you could find no way out, then it becomes a thistle in the flesh. For one's destiny is not born, nor written in pain or in fate, But created through it. Quote Right
Quote Left Best to turn away from gossip. Everyone gets hurt, yourself included, when coming to conclusions that are likely not conclusive. Quote Right
Quote Left Whenever we approach oneness with God, in the moment of prayer, or while creating a work of art, there is a natural sense of omnipotence. Also, the spirit of what we create lives on in that creation long after one's corporal body ceases to exist. We are yet attached to that creation in a very profound spiritual way. In the same way our love persists in those (example: children) we have partnered with the Divine to birth. Quote Right
Quote Left When the majority rules there is no controversy, but when politicians rule there is always controversy. Quote Right
Quote Left When I add water to the birdbath each morning, lots of bees show up to take drinks while birds approvingly tweeting. The little colorful love-birds are the bravest, flapping around me while in my connected process. Water, birds, bees, dogs, fleas...somehow it all works out for the best when each does its small part. Quote Right
Quote Left When seeing clearly, all nature is my altar. Quote Right
Quote Left You were made to think that you can fight against darkness. The truth is, you cannot fight a thing in its own domain. The reason you see a need to fight darkness is the absence of light from within. Unlearn all that has crippled your light. Be awakened. Be enlightened. Then come before darkness, and it will disappear, for it cannot contend with light. Quote Right
Quote Left Marvelous how water can bend, break, flow around something and then be whole again.... Quote Right
Quote Left Integrity is the ability to keep a promise to yourself when no one else is around to hold you to it. Quote Right
