diary of an old soul

Yet hints come to me from the realm unknown,

Airs drift across the twilight border land,

Odored with life;

. . . whispers to my heart are blown

That fill me with a joy I cannot speak,

Yea, from whose shadow words drop faint and weak.

- George MacDonald

I am the Gate. Anyone who goes through me will be cared for --

will freely go in and out, and find pasture. . . . I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.

- John 10:9-10

two weeks notice, or ballad of the navigator's glow-globe

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep - while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

- Edgar Allan Poe
