COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.
— Albert Schweitzer

"God has no religion."
- Mahatma Gandhi


‎"You believe in the God who plays dice, and I in complete law and order in a world which objectively exists, and which I, in a wildly speculative way, am trying to capture. I hope that someone will discover a more realistic way, or rather a more tangible basis than it has been my lot to find.

Even the great initial success of the Quantum Theory does not make me believe in the fundamental dice-game, although I am well aware that our younger colleagues interpret this as a consequence of senility. No doubt the day will come when we will see whose instinctive attitude was the correct one. (Albert Einstein to Max Born, Sept 1944, 'The Born-Einstein Letters')

St. Francis of Assisi - Poverello  The sands of the sea, the drops of rain, the days of eternity -- who can count them? The height of the sky, the breadth of the earth, the depth of the abyss -- who can explore them? Ecclesiasticus 1:2,3. Lord, the clouds in the sky look like waves of the ocean. How beautiful and glorious it is, reflecting You and Your goodness. Alleluia!
