To drink deeply of the silence,
inhale the quiet,
lose myself in timelessness --
that is soul-space.
~ from SOUL-MAKING by Edward Sellner
If others could tell you the shortest, surest way to all happiness and perfection, they must tell you to make a rule to yourself to thank and praise God for every that happens to you. For it is certain that whatever calamity happens to you, if you thank and praise God for it, you turn it into a blessing . . .
