"Rumours of another World" by Philip Yancey:
============================================
"Simone Weil says, a poet encounters beauty by intensely fixing attention on something real. So does a lover. Can I do something similiar in the inner life, with God? I need not always search for new insights, new truths: 'The most commonplace truth when it floods the WHOLE SOUL, is like a revelation."
"The goal of contemplation is to see life as God sees it, a unity of two worlds and not a division. That encompasses both a lifetime of practice and rare, single flashes of revelation."
"If you can live through a moment, you can live through a day, and how you live a day is eventually how you live your life."
"Perfect are the good desires you have given me", prayed Blaise Pascal; "Be their End, as you have been their Beginning". (from "The Mind on Fire")
