Thinking Aloud II...


If I am I because I am I
and you are you because you are you
then I am and you are

But...

If I am I because you are you
and you are you because I am I
Then I am not and you are not...

Wisdom knows because
it can see
beyond what we can perceive;
it can hear
beyond what we can listen to;
it can feel
beyond what we can sense;
it can search
beyond what we can find;
it can understand
beyond what we can fathom.

Wisdom knows because
Wisdom is the reflection
of the Perfection of God...

* * *
Seek your self
Read the signs

Look for them on the ground
Search for them in the skies

If you can't see them while awake
Find them in your dreams

If you can't read them in people's minds
The signs are almost always found
In people's hearts

For it is not in palaces
Not in mansions
and not in high towers
That our souls can rest

For it is in the heart
That we can find our real home...

What Matters Most...


If I have the gift of prophesy
and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have a faith that can move mountains
but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor
and surrender my body to the flames
but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast;
Love is not proud, Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking;
Love is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs;
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth;
Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres;

Love never fails, because Love is the spirit of God...

taken from the Holy Bible - 1Cor. 13: 2-8
