If you have seen in silent prayer

Now, let me be clear. The path I lay out is not one paved with ever increasing government checks and cradle to grave assurance that government will always be the solution.

The act of writing bears something in common with the act of love. The writer, at his most productive moments, just flows. He gives of that which is uniquely himself.

Herein, too, lies some of the courage that must be entailed in letting others learn how one has experienced or is experiencing the world. — Sidney Jourard

The Quest of the Holy Grail, the Search for the Stone of the Philosophers - by whatever name we choose to call the Great Work - is therefore endless.
