  • I am somebody when I have learned to listen

    To be somebody is to listen carefully,

    to other people, to their worries and views.

    To be somebody is to listen lovingly,

    to a little child and a shabby street singer.

    To be somebody is to listen wondering,

    to the singing bird and the voice of thunder.

    To be somebody is to listen intently,

    to the sound of nature and the voice of God.

    To be somebody is to listen with your eyes,

    to see what the Eternal one is saying now.

    The Word is
    with God, and the Word is God.

    Being word
    is the very nature of God.

    The Word is
    an integral part of the Divine Being.

    He speaks
    all the time without intermission.

    He speaks
    continuously.

    The words
    that proceed from his mouth

    Are full of
    life and power

    For all
    those who receive them.

    God is
    life, and life proceeds from him

    Through the
    words he speaks.

    God is the
    fountain of life,

    An ever
    flowing source of living water.

    Living
    words drawing us to himself,

    Drawing us
    into a personal relationship with him.

    The word of
    God finds its fullness in the Word,

    His own
    dear Son,

    Light of
    his own light,

    Life of his
    own life.[1]

    John 1:-4; Matthew 4:4

  • The heart of a friend

    I shot an arrow into the air,

    It fell to earth, I knew not where;

    For so swiftly it flew the sight

    Could not follow it in its flight.

    I breathed a song into the air,

    It fell to earth, I knew not where;

    For who has sight so keen and strong

    That it can follow the flight of a song?

    Long, long afterward in an oak

    I found the arrow, still unbroken;

    And the song, from beginning to end,

    I found again in the heart of a friend.

    Text: H.W. Longfellow

  • The language of friendship

    Recently I came across some wonderful sayings on friendship and I would like to share it with my friends:

    Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends. Czech proverb

    The language of friendship is not words but meanings. H.D. Thoreau
