Reflection: Ends and Beginnings
I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.
— Andy Bernard, The Office
The Truth of Boredom
All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.
— Blaise Pascal
Innocence
Life doesn’t make sense
It bends and breaks you
You numb yourself but
This lack of feeling only hurts
Feeling is lost
There is no joy without pain
There is no need for hope
Without darkness
Innocence is lost
To be gained once more
To be a child is to be in awe
And that brings sense to life again
The Reward of Contemplation
Our idea of God tells us more about ourselves than about Him.
— Thomas Merton
The Journey
How far I have to go to find you in whom I have already arrived.
— Thomas Merton
