Quote of the Day

The hope that is left after all your hopes are gone -- that is pure hope, rooted in the heart.

The world is a mirror of infinite beauty, yet no one sees it

Thomas Traherne | June 2007 (Vol. XX, No. 6)

The world is a mirror of infinite beauty,
yet no one sees it.
It is a Temple of majesty,
yet no one regards it.
It is a region of Light and Peace,
did not humans disquiet it.
It is the Paradise of God,
the place of Angels,
and the Gate of Heaven.

~ from CENTURIES OF MEDITATIONS by Thomas Traherne
