Heart Soul May

More From Ernest Gaines

But the soul has no culture. the soul has no nations. the soul has no colour or accent or way of life. the soul is forever. the soul is one. and when the heart has its moment of truth and sorrow, the soul can't be stilled.
Heart Forever Soul
Even there, in the mines, underground, i may find a human heart in another convict and murderer by my side, and i may make friends with him, for even there one may live and love and suffer. one may thaw and revive a frozen heart in that convict, one may wait upon him for years, and at last bring up from the dark depths a lofty soul, a feeling, suffering creature; one may bring forth an angel, create a hero! there are so many of them, hundreds of them, and we are all to blame for them. [...] if they drive god from the earth, we shall shelter him underground.
Hero Heart Angel
Ditty of first desire in the green morning i wanted to be a heart. a heart. and in the ripe evening i wanted to be a nightingale. a nightingale. (soul, turn orange-colored. soul, turn the color of love.) in the vivid morning i wanted to be myself. a heart. and at the evening's end i wanted to be my voice. a nightingale. soul, turn orange-colored. soul, turn the color of love.

A soul might very well exist, but we, as physicists, try to measure and quantify everything. so far, no one has been able to create an experiment to do this for the soul. efforts have been made to weigh the body after death, but each time we find no evidence of a soul. so a soul may very well exist, but it is not a testable theory.
Effort Soul Trying
I call the light and high aspects of my being spirit and the dark and heavy aspects soul. soul is at home in the deep, shaded valleys. heavy torpid flowers saturated with black grow there. the rivers flow like warm syrup. they empty into huge oceans of soul. spirit is a land of high white peaks and glittering jewel-like lakes and flowers. life is sparse and sounds travel great distances. there is soul music, soul food, and soul love... people need to climb the mountain not simple because it is there but because the soulful divinity needs to be mated with the spirit.
Distance Ocean Flower
Say not, 'i have found the truth,' but rather, 'i have found a truth.' say not, ' i have found the path of the soul.' say rather, 'i have met the soul walking upon my path.' for the soul walks upon all paths. the soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. the soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

I think that there is a sort of spiritual power that is translating into our bodies as we perform. performers give, and giving is so important. it can heal. that is my experience, anyway.
Spiritual Thinking Giving
The longing for initiation is universal and for modern youth, it is a desperate need. when nothing is offered in the way of spiritual initiation to prove one's entry into the world of men and women, initiation happens instead in the road or the street, in cars at high speed, with drugs, with dangerous sex, with weapons. however troubling, this behavior is rooted in a fundamental truth; a need to grow.

Fear always springs from ignorance.
Spiritual Fear Spring
Only in the steady and constant application of force lies the very first prerequisite for success. this persistence, however, can always and only arise from a definite spiritual conviction. any violence which does not spring from a firm, spiritual base, will be wavering and uncertain.
Spiritual Religious Spring
