Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. ↗

Summer has come with the loveliness of a mother Heat, not warmth, now pours onto my face, aging me, taking me closer to death. Let it. I am here to live my story, to love my story. I will not fail to savor any gift out of a desire for self-preservation. Self-preservation is not a great virtue in this story. ↗

Do not cry to me. I can only cry with you. I will not die for you. I am still too young in the meaning of love. Talk to the Fool, to the one who left a throne to enter an anthill. He will enter your shadow. It cannot taint HIm. He has done it before. His holiness is not fragile. It burns like a father to the sun. Touch His skin, put your hand in His side. He has kept His scars when He did not have to. Give Him your pain and watch it overwhelmed, burned away in the joy He takes in loving. In stooping. ↗

— N.D. Wilson

Tunggu malaikat. Jangan dulu dikabulkan apa yang dia minta. Aku ingin mendengar tangisan dan permohonannya lebih lama lagi karena Aku mencintainya. Jika waktunya tiba, Aku akan mengabulkan semua permohonannya, bahkan akan Kulebihkan dari yang dia minta. ↗

Since it is seldom clear whether intellectual activity denotes a superior mode of being or a vital deficiency, opinion swings between considering intellect a privilege and seeing it as a handicap. ↗
