The Difference

 

The Difference Between the Almost Right Word and the Right Word
Is Really a Large Matter—’Tis the Difference Between the Lightning
Bug and the Lightning

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

 

 


Your Word

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

Psalm 119:105


The Same River

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s
not the same river and he’s not the same man.

Heraclitus (c.540-c.480)


Everything

 

There’s a crack in everything. That’s how light gets in.

-Leonard Cohen (1934-2016)

 


Peace-No Peace

I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him, creating praise on the lips of the mourners in Israel.
Peace, peace, to those far and near, “says the Lord.
“And I will heal them.”

 But the wicked are like the
tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up
mire and mud.“There is no peace, ” says my God,
“for the wicked.”

Isaiah 57:18-21
