Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Posted August 8, 2006 An excerpt from a book by Mark Zimmerman, witten while Mark was still a senior in high school : " Whether we realize it or not, Life is good to us, as long as we remain good to ourselves. " We must needs walk in darkness, to know our greater longing is to walk in the light of the sun. " We must needs have a dark self, to know our enlightened self. " We must needs have a less desirable self, to know and grow toward our greater and more desirable self, when made visible. " Truth must remain hidden from us by untruth, to know truth, when it unveils itself through understanding. " Beauty must remain a mystery unto us, so that we may know her secrets, when she unveils her holy garment. " And we have lost our love, only to know love, when we find it again. " The Old Man of the Holy Mountain by Mark Zimmerman Blessings: Stephen Quote
