More From Ronald Reagan

Dawn's faint breath breathes with your mouth at the ends of empty streets. gray light your eyes, sweet drops of dawn on dark hills. your steps and breath like the wind of dawn smother houses. the city shudders, stones exhale— you are life, an awakening. star lost in the light of dawn, trill of the breeze, warmth, breath— the night is done. you are light and morning.
Sweet Morning Stars
Bastian had climbed a dune of purplish-red sand and all around him he saw nothing but hill after hill of every imaginable color. each hill revealed a shade or tint that occured in no other. the nearest was cobalt blue, another was saffron yellow, then came crimson red, then indigo, apple green, sky blue, orange, peach, mauve, turquoise blue, lilac, moss green, ruby red, burnt umber, indian yellow, vermillion, lapis lazuli, and so on from horizon to horizon. and between the hill, separating color from color, flowed streams of gold and silver sand.

I have just been to a city in the west, a city full of poets, a city they have made safe for poets. the whole city is so lovely that you do not have to write it up to make it poetry; it is ready-made for you. but, i don't know - the poetry written in that city might not seem like poetry if read outside of the city. it would be like the jokes made when you were drunk; you have to get drunk again to appreciate them.

If you look at coastlines, if you look at that them from far away, from an airplane, well, you don't see details, you see a certain complication. when you come closer, the complication becomes more local, but again continues. and come closer and closer and closer, the coastline becomes longer and longer and longer because it has more detail entering in.

I think my life has been a long, slow process of trying to move closer and closer to the spirit by moving closer and closer to the heart. the heart is what's important.
Moving Heart Thinking
I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but i don't know if i ever quite communicated what i saw when i said it. but in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, god-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and heart to get there. that's how i saw it, and see it still.

Our aim - our only aim - is to be at home in christ. he's not a roadside park or hotel room. he's our permanent mailing address. christ is our home. he's our place of refuge and security. we're comfortable in his presence, free to be our authentic selves. we know our way around in him. we know his heart and his ways. we rest in him, find our nourishment in him. his roof of grace protects us from storms of guilt. his walls of providence secure us from destructive winds. his fireplace warms us during the lonely winters of life. we linger in the abode of christ and never leave.
Lonely Wall Home

If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian. we feel better about ourselves and better about the animals, knowing we're not contributing to their pain.

What lingered after them was not life, which always overcomes natural death, but the most trivial list of mundane facts: a clock ticking on a wall, a room dim at noon, and the outrageousness of a human being thinking only of herself.
