ANTIGONE

“Many the wonders but nothing walks stranger than man.
The thing crosses the sea in the winter’s storm,

Making his path through the roaring waves,
And she, the greatest of gods, the Earth —
Ageless she is and unwearied — he wears her away
As the ploughs go up and down from year to year
And his mules turn up the soil.
Gay nations of birds he snares and leads,
Wild beast tribes and the salty brood of the sea
With the twisted mesh of his nets, this clever man.
He controls with his craft the beasts of the open air,

Walkers on hills. The horse with his shaggy mane
He holds and harnesses, yoked about the neck.

And the strong bull of the mountain.

Language, and thought like the wind

And the feelings that make the town
He has taught himself, and shelter against the cold,
Refuge from rain. He can always help himself.
He faces no future helpless.
There’s only death

That he cannot find an escape from.”

~Sophocles, Tragedist, playwright, written in 441 BCE

William O. Cushing Quotes


"It was more beau­ti­ful than words can tell, and my heart seemed to be there." ~William O. Crushing, 1875

“One day ... I was reach­ing up for a bless­ing when suddenly there came down up­on my heart a vi­sion of the heav­en­ly count­ry. I seemed to look down up­on a ri­ver that like a mighty tide rolled be­neath me. Across, on the other side of this ri­ver, I saw an en­chant­ed land; its hills and val­leys were sleep­ing in a heav­en­ly calm. It was more beau­ti­ful than words can tell, and my heart seemed to be there. As I gazed up­on the scene, there came to my lips the words, ‘Beau­ti­ful val­ley of Eden.’ The vi­sion re­mained un­til I had writ­ten down the hymn; then it grad­u­al­ly fad­ed from my sight. But I want to say that the beau­ty of the hymn is large­ly due to Mr. Sher­win, who, by his rich mel­o­dy, has reached a deep­er chord than any mere words could ev­er have reached.” ~William O. Cushing, Author of Beautiful Valley of Eden, 1875

"The best way to create change in your relationship is to begin by changing yourself. It’s so easy to blame your loved one for why your relationship is stuck. Change ultimately begins with looking at oneself. What do you think you need to do differently to create change in your relationship?" ~Dr. Jeff Kane, Relationships Unscripted

The expectations you carry will affect what how you move through your relationship. Change your thoughts and change your relationship." ~Dr. Jeff Kane

Once you change your beliefs everything else will begin to shift. Change is truly in your hands." ~Dr. Jeff Kane, Relationships Unscripted

"If you don't make any noise, the bogeyman won't find you. But it's all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn." ~Sophie Scholl

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did." ~Sophie School, Student Leader and Organiser of White Rose, Anti-Nazi Movement.)

"How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause. Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?" ~Sophie Scholl (1921-1943), (on her final statement at her execution)

"Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won't take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don't like to make waves - or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honor, truth, and principles are only literature. Those who live small, mate small, die small. It's the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you'll keep it under control. … If you don't make any noise, the bogeyman won't find you.

POETRY

BROKEN

You may be broken; you may be torn;
You may feel this is how you were born.
This is not the case; know this grace;
Let it take you to a higher place.

You are mystique; you’re a special soul;
Raise your chin; be made whole.
Know the angels wipe away your tears;
Begin again; release your fears.

~Robert Clancy

FAITH

"Faith confirms belief;
Hope provides relief;
Love is everything else
that simply makes you complete."
~Robert Clancy

IN THE LIGHT

Take me to the river; never let me go.
Fill my heart with love, only kindness to bestow.
Take me to the mountain; release all my fears.
Fill my eyes with hope, for the rest of my years.
Take me to the ocean; let me swim in the vastness of your heart.
Fill my days without longing; let nothing take us apart.
Take me to Heaven; let my ears ring with peace.
Fill my soul with divine light, so all darkness will simply cease.
~Robert Clancy

LIGHT OF A NEW DAY

Smile if just for a moment;
let the angels dry your tears.
Time is just an essence;
let every second cast a year.
Today’s storm will pass;
let tomorrow’s light greet you with a kiss.
Bask in this loving warmth;
let your soul return to bliss.

~Robert Clancy

LOVE is…
The vastness that exists between every beat of your precious heart;
The endless oceans flowing behind your beautiful eyes;
The heavens reigning down upon your delicate soul;
The grace bestowed upon your wonderful life.

~Robert Clancy

PATH OF LIGHT

Call upon forgiveness to release your precious soul;

Forgiving allows for living; it makes the Universe whole.
Grace will light your way; there’s only one path that’s true;

It’s the one that leads to love, the one with the heavenly views.

You may have shared your heart; you may have some regrets;

But the greatest plan for your soul hasn’t even happened yet.
Stay true to who you are; don’t give up on life’s fight.

It will all be worth it in the end; keep walking the path of light.
~Robert Clancy

PRAY

A prayer for the faithful;
a prayer for those who see;
Help those who are still blind
to the divine grace-filled seas.

Dance upon the sands of time;
let that ocean caress your feet.
Allow your love become the waves
that wash over those you meet.

Reach your hands to heavens in gratitude;
share your loving heart.
Listen for the angels to rejoice;
make kindness the place you start.

~Robert Clancy

SHATTERED HEARTS

Loving forgiveness is the place to start,
When your heart is shattered or broken apart.

Grief, sorrow, darkness, despair—
Know you’re held; all of heaven cares.

You might be at rock bottom; you may have given in;
The angels have called out—your soul is worth saving.

Hold on for the sunrise, wait for that light to caress your face,
The angels have arrived to wrap you with grace.

~Robert Clancy

THE LIGHT BEARER

You are born to be a child of the infinite light;

Your wings may be hidden, but you can always take flight.
Your smile a radiant gift, from the angels they say;
Bestow your divine beauty to brighten another’s day.
Allow your compassion to give your wings their lift;
Know the love in your heart is God’s great gift.

~Robert Clancy
