"What concerns me in particular, is that in my life I've only taken to the extreme that which you haven't even dared to take halfway; what's more, you've mistaken your cowardice for good sense; and, in so deceiving yourself, you've consoled yourself.

sometimes i forget that God finds me completely irresistable. Sometimes i get caught feeling too much. Sometimes I need to remember my own advice - no one is rejecting you because God has got his Almighty hands wrapped tightly around your heart and future.

"Mother Kite once sent her daughter to bring food. She went and brought back a duckling. 'You have done very well,' said Mother Kite to her daughter, 'but tell me, what did the mother of this duckling say when you swooped and carried its child away?' 'It said nothing,' replied the young kite. 'It just walked away.' 'You must return the duckling,' said Mother Kite. 'There is something omnious behind the silence.' And so Daughter Kite returned the duckling and took a chick instead. 'What did the mother of this chick do?' asked the old kite. 'It cried and raved and cursed me,' said the young kite. 'Then we can eat the chick,' said her mother. 'There is nothing to fear from someone who shouts.'"
