spiritual mean imagination
Human imagination is not simply our means of reaching out to God but God's means of manifesting himself to us.
artist people mind
There are dangers for an artist in any academic environment. Academia rewards people who know their own minds and have developed an ironclad confidence in speaking them. That kind of assurance is death for an artist.
real thinking doe
I don't think that someone who does not speak the original language can ever expect to produce a real translation.
order may sometimes
Sometimes God calls a person to unbelief in order that faith may take new forms.
alive existence feels
To be truly alive is to feel one's ultimate existence within one's daily existence.
reading people quality
One of the qualities essential to being good at reading poetry is also one of the qualities essential to being good at life: a capacity for surprise. It’s easy to become so mired in our likes or dislikes that we can no longer recall that person who once responded to poems—and to people—without any preconceived notions of what we wanted them to be.
soul poet stakes
I'm drawn to this range, that's for sure, but I suppose the thing that most appeals to me about Mandelstam is the sense you get from every poem that everything - the poet's very soul - is at stake.
ambition home anxiety
There is nothing more difficult to outgrow than anxieties that have become useful to us, whether as explanations for a life that never quite finds its true force or direction, or as fuel for ambition, or as a kind of reflexive secular religion that, paradoxically, unites us with others in a shared sense of complete isolation: you feel at home in the world only by never feeling at home in the world.
color joy soul
Sorrow is so woven through us, so much a part of our souls, or at least any understanding of our souls that we are able to attain, that every experience is dyed with its color. This is why, even in moment of joy, part of that joy is the seams of ore that are our sorrow. They burn darkly and beautifully in the midst of joy, and they make joy the complete experience that it is. But they still burn.
art theology art-is
Art is so often better at theology than theology is.
thinking red dresses
I think that red polka red dress is just iconic.
color style able
The bows, the polka dots, the color, the playfulness - you don't have to over do it. You just have to be able to style it in the right way.
girl jeans style
I even like when girls wear printed Minnie Mouse T-shirts with a cool ball gown skirt, or a ripped up pair of jeans - it's all about how you style it.
beautiful girl thinking
I think the "trick" is you have to really want to do it. You're embracing more of the world. Which is great. We're all in the world together, you know? And the models in the show who are "plus size," they're not in a special place, they're not wearing differently styled outfits. They're just beautiful girls who are in the show, like normal. Everything's normal. That's how it should be!
