“Spirituality”
“Might this one word, of all the many thousands in the vocabulary of the English language, be reserved for what it ought to denote: the quality or state of being Spirit? Spirit is Truth and Light, Eternity, Infinity, and Love. It is that from which all souls and all apparent creation are made. In it […]

“Isolated, the lone prow-rock, its top filigreed with bird-ordure, stood gloomy in the fading light, alternately burnt umber, drab, and gray-brown at various heights. It could equally well have been the tiller of a colossal stone ship of a mythic race. Adjacent masses must have crumbled, leaving it to make a courageous last stand against […]

The sun began its descent. Further down […]
