Oh, Lord God, Have Mercy

Friendship With The Ignorant Is As Foolish As Arguing With A Drunkard.

What Difference Is There Between Us, Save A Restless Dream That Follows My Soul But Fears To Come Near You?

Your Children Are Not Your Children. They Are The Sons And Daughters Of Life's Longing For Itself. They Come Through You But Not From You, And Though They Are With You, Yet They Belong Not To You. You May Give Them Your Love, But Not Your Thoughts. For They Have Their Own Thoughts. You May House Their Bodies But Not Their Souls, For Their Souls Dwell In The House Of Tomorrow, Which You Cannot Visit, Not Even In Your Dreams. You May Strive To Be Like Them, But Seek Not To Make Them Like You. For Life Goes Not Backward, Nor Tarries With Yesterday.

Art Arises When The Secret Vision Of The Artist And The Manifestation Of Nature Agree To Find New Shapes.

And God Said, Love Your Enemy, & I Obeyed Him & Loved Myself.
