“You are not a god, though you are hostileas a god, inhospitable and anonymousas a metropolis, your grey and single-minded industry transforming the shoreinto yourself. Narcissism is notself-love, but a mechanism of survival,your cogs churning amorphous as maggots,pallid as almonds, paper-whites, the highnotes of foam.”

“some things you will think of yourself,...some things God will put into your mind”

“‎1. Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. 2. Love your neighbor as yourself. It's that easy! :-)”

“And when you work with love you bind your self to yourself, and to one another, and to God.”

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-- His good, pleasing, and perfect will." Romans 12:1-2)”

“It seems as though time stands still or is frozen in your memory when you meet the love of your life. Your heart sets it sights on that individual it doesn’t consult with your mind…nothing else exist. It is as though in that single moment there is no one else but the two of you in the universe.”
