Donald trump is doing well. trump is shocking everybody. he's shocking the democrats. he's shocking the republicans. he's shocking world. contrast what's happened here in just the last three days with eight years of barack obama. we have had no apologizing. we've had no bowing. we've had a president of the united states actually tell the heads of state of countries where terrorism is rampant to get rid of it, to drive it out. we've had a president of the united states directly confront iran where his our previous president threw everybody else overboard for iran.

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

The mold in which a key is made would be a strange thing, if you had never seen a key: and the key itself a strange thing if you had never seen a lock. your soul has a curious shape because it is a hollow made to fit a particular swelling in the infinite contours of the divine substance, or a key to unlock one of the doors in the house with many mansions. your place in heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it -- made for it stitch by stitch as a glove is made for a hand.
Keys Doors Hands
Ah, how wonderful is the advent of the spring!—the great annual miracle.... which no force can stay, no violence restrain, like love, that wins its way and cannot be withstood by any human power, because itself is divine power. if spring came but once in a century, instead of once a year, or burst forth with the sound of an earthquake, and not in silence, what wonder and expectation would there be in all hearts to behold the miraculous change!... we are like children who are astonished and delighted only by the second-hand of the clock, not by the hour-hand.

It is we who are the measure of what is strange and miraculous: if we sought a universal measure the strange and miraculous would not occur and all things would be equal.

The strange thing about my life is that i came to america at about the time when racial attitudes were changing. this was a big help to me. also, the people who were most cruel to me when i first came to america were black americans. they made absolute fun of the way i talked, the way i dressed. i couldn't dance. the people who were most kind and loving to me were white people. so what can one make of that? perhaps it was a coincidence that all the people who found me strange were black and all the people who didn't were white.
