I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

God

"When we cage, domesticate or control God then we are no longer dealing with a living God but we are dealing with an ideal of our own making.    Part of the Western traditions in the presence of Marx, Freud and Nietzsche has been a relentless attack on the way that we have reduced the magnificent, hospitable Divine Presence to a safe, human idol of our own projection."   John O' Donahue
