Ann Weems quotes

In the godforsaken, obscene quicksand of life, there is a deafening alleluia rising from the souls of those who weep, and of those who weep with those who weep. If you watch, you will see The hand of God putting the stars back in their skies one by one.
-- Ann Weems

#Stars #Prayer #Hands

Is it not careless to become too local when there are four hundred billion stars in our galaxy alone.

Each star is a mirror reflecting the truth inside you.

Stars ink your fingers with a lexicon of flame blazing rare knowledge.

City lights shine bright on my complexion, Self-reflection...red hairs flashing at the intersection. Life is a green light, one star, no script, Supporting actors...fresh peaches, no pit.

Pray, always pray; beneath sins heaviest load, Prayer claims the blood from Jesus' side that flowed. Pray, always pray; though weary, faint, and lone, Prayer nestles by the Father's sheltering throne.

Pray, always pray; when sickness wastes thy frame, Prayer brings the healing power of Jesus' name.

All earth-born hopes with time must pass away; prayer grasps eternal things; pray, always pray.

Get up now and go and find Robert Kilroy-Silk. Smile in a warm, friendly sort of way, then punch him on the nose. Now go and find Robert on television, despite my best endeavours, this is still relatively easy to do. Wait for a close-up, same smile, and punch him on the nose. If you followed the instructions carefully, you will have noticed a distinct difference. On the one hand, you were suffused with a sense of public-spirited righteousness; on the other, you're probably dribbling blood. That's the difference between reality in life and reality on television.

In the last stage of the spiritual master's life, the devotees of the spiritual master should take preaching activities into their own hands. In this way the spiritual master can sit down in a solitary place and render nirjana-bhajana.

O marriage! marriage! what a curse is thine, Where hands alone consent and hearts abhor.
