Annie Dillard Quotes

A Man Who Struggles Long To Pray And Study Torah Will Be Able To Discover The Sparks Of Divine Light In All Of Creation, In Each Solitary Bush And Grain And Woman And Man. And When He Cleaves Strenuously To God For Many Years, He Will Be Able To Release The Sparks To Unwrap And Lift These Particular Shreds Of Holiness, And Return Them To God. This Is The Human Task: To Direct And Channel The Spark's Return. This Task Is Tikkun, Restoration.
Yours Is A Holy Work On Earth Right Now, They Say, Whatever That Work Is If You Tie Your Love And Desire To God. You Do Not Deny Or Flee The World, But Redeem It, All Of It - Just As It Is.
