What it had to be

"This life has shown me how we're mended and how we're torn 

How it's okay to be lonely as long as you're free 

Sometimes my ground was stoney 

And sometimes covered up with thorns 

And only You could make it what it had to be."

~Rich Mullins

Pleasure in the pathless

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,

   There is a rapture on the lonely shore,

There is society where none intrudes,

   By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:

   I love not man the less, but nature more."

~George Gordon Byron

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods

Deeper meaning

"It is looking at things for a long time that ripens you and gives you a deeper meaning."

~Vincent van Gogh
