Will Christian
nature flower philosophical
Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

It's important to get back on a good roll. We know we're good and we're still developing. We just need to go into those games and keep winning.
writing self people
It is easy enough to write and talk about God while remaining comfortable within the contemporary intellectual climate. Even people who would call themselves unbelievers often use the word gesturally, as a ready-made synonym for mystery. But if nature abhors a vacuum, Christ abhors a vagueness. If God is love, Christ is love for this one person, this one place, this one time-bound and time-ravaged self.

excuse
The knowledge beyond all other knowledge is the knowledge how to excuse.

Care, admitted as guest, quickly turns to be master.
