Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.
I stood willingly and gladly in the characters of everything - other people, trees, clouds. And this is what I learned, that the world’s otherness is antidote to confusion - that standing within this otherness - the beauty and the mystery of the world, out in the fields or deep inside books - can re-dignify the worst-stung heart.” — Mary Oliver

But I also say this: that light is an invitation to happiness, and that happiness, when it’s done right, is a kind of holiness, palpable and redemptive. ”

So every day I was surrounded by the beautiful crying forth of the ideas of God,
one of which was you.”
