“Seeing. One could say that the whole of life lies in seeing – if not ultimately, at least essentially. To be more is to be more united – and this sums up and is the very conclusion of the work to follow. But unity grows…only if it is supported by an increase of consciousness, of vision. That is probably why the history of the living world can be reduced to the elaboration of ever more perfect eyes at the heart of a cosmos where it is always possible to discern more…
To try to see more and to see better is not, therefore, just a fantasy, curiosity, or a luxury. See or perish. This is the situation imposed on every element of the universe by the mysterious gift of existence.”– Teilhard de Chardin
“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.” – Isaiah 9:1
“Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light; the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.”
If this year is to be a new year then we have to somehow let go of the old year. The mistakes we’ve made and even the the things we’ve held onto too tightly, namely our own egos. There can never be a birth of the new unless there is a death of the old.
Is the truth beyond all truths, is the truth beyond the stars, just this: that to live without him is the real death, that to die with him is the only life?” – Frederick Buechner
