Profound Beauty, Mystery & Wise Delight


A L O H A From Honolulu!

The government of
mutual love is
heavenly government.
Swedenborg



Grace woke you up
this morning,
grace started you
on your way and
grace enabled you to
survive until
this very moment.
   Charles E. Blake



You are not the
darkness you endured.
You are the light that
refused to surrender.
 John Mark Green




War and conflict
hold our attention, but
so can profound
beauty and mystery.
Solomon Enos




Fools are tormented by
the memory of former evils;
wise folk have the delight of
renewing in grateful remembrance
the blessings of the past.  
    Epicurus




I have never wished to
cater to the crowd;
for what I know
they do not approve,
and what they approve
I do not know.
 Epicurus

Swedenborgianism; religion and science?

Thank you. I prefer to focus on beauty and wonder while not ignoring war and conflict.

I really love this post today, Cloudia. The quotes are right on for this day. Well for any day. The photo of the women sitting with her mask and the covid sign, is brilliant. Thank you for joining Friday Face Off. Have a lovely day.
