~it was whlie gliding through these latter waters that one serene and moonlight night, when all the waves rolled by like scrolls of silver; and, by their soft suffusing seethings, made what seemed a silvery silence, not a solitude; on such a silent night a silvery jet was seen far in advance of the bubbles at the bow. Lit up by the moon it looked celestial; seemed some plumed and glittering god uprising from the sea.~ hermann melville

~how can you ,who are so holy suffer? all your past except its beauty is gone,and nothing is left but a blessing.I have saved all your kindnesses and every loving thought you ever had, and purified them of all the errors which hid their light, and kept them for you in their own perfect radiance. they are beyond destruction and beyond guilt ~a course in miracles ~
~no man is an island entire of itself. everyman is a piece of the continent~a part of the main~if a clod be washed away by the sea, europe is the less...anyone's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind...therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee....
