umi and love

“Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.

We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new.

And so I think it is with you;
your ideas mature gradually — let them grow, let them shape themselves, without undue haste.

Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be.

Give Our Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.”

– Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

“Nature is not matter only,
She is also a spirit.”

– Carl Jung

“Sit quietly, and listen for a voice that will say, ‘Be more silent.’ Die and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign that you’ve died. Your old life was a frantic running from silence. Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.

Live in silence.”

– Rumi

“Try something different. Surrender.”

– Rumi

– Maya Angelou 

For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.

Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭20‬ ‭
‭‭

Take me to the place
Where we talk with our eyes
To the place where even winter is warm
To the place where music is played all day
To the place where we sit next to God.

– Zamajobe, Ndawo Yami lyrics

“Art is the conversation between lovers. Art offers an opening for the heart. True art makes the divine silence in the soul break into applause.” – Hafez

“Forgiveness is me giving up my right to hurt you for hurting me. Forgiveness is the final act of love.”

– Beyoncé Knowles-Carter
