The single clenched fist lifted and ready,
Or the open hand held out and waiting.
Choose:
For we meet by one or the other.

Are you looking at me?

I don't think so.
Not right now.
You're getting your wishes so SIT DOWN!"

-Genie from Aladdin

The Teresian Contemplative

SHE moves in tumult; round her lies
The silence of the world of grace;
The twilight of our mysteries
Shines like high noonday on her face;
Our piteous guesses, dim with fears,
She touches, handles, sees, and hears.

In her all longings mix and meet;
Dumb souls through her are eloquent;
She feels the world beneath her feet
Thrill in a passionate intent;
Through her our tides of feeling roll
And find their God within her soul.
~Robert Hugh Benson~

Dylan · 02-08-2010, 09:43 PM

I will not suffer the rules of ridiculous people;
That is all I will say.
I will turn my fact to the sun
and enter an endless sea of feeling.
