John Wu

But when the One returns to all things, even the pebbles sparkle

When all things return to the One, even gold loses its value.
But when the One returns to all things, even the pebbles sparkle.

When the One returns to all things

When all things return to One, even gold loses its value. But when the One returns to all things, even the pebbles sparkle.

Quote of the Day

O my Beloved, you are my shepherd,
I shall not want;
You bring me to green pastures for rest
and lead me beside still waters
renewing my spirit,
You restore my soul.
You lead me in the path of goodness
to follow Love's way...

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of all my fears...

and I shall dwell in the heart
of the Beloved
forever.
~ Nan Merrill, excerpt from Psalm 23 in PSALMS FOR PRAYING
