“Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so we can see life with a clearer view again.”

“We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather about us that they may see, it may be, their own images, and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our quiet.”

“While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.”

“Even our tears of repentance need to be washed in the blood of the Lamb.”

“Sometimes we must try to view the actions of those around us with forgiveness. We must realize that they are going on the only road they can see. Sometimes we cannot raise our chins and see eye to eye, so we must bow our heads and have faith in one another.”

“The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.”
