Impersonal criticism?is like an impersonal fist fight or an impersonal marriage, and as successful.
Fighting Successful Criticism
Theologians talk about a prevenient grace that precedes grace itself and allows us to accept it. i think there must also be a prevenient courage that allows us to be brave - that is, to acknowledge that there is more beauty than our eyes can bear, that precious things have been put into our hands and to do nothing to honor them is to do great harm. and therefore, this courage allows us, as the old men said, to make ourselves useful. it allows us to be generous, which is another way of saying exactly the same thing.

Awe is an intuition for the dignity of all things, a realization that things not only are what they are but also stand, however remotely, for something supreme. awe is a sense for transcendence, for the reference everywhere to mystery beyond all things. it enables us to perceive in the world intimations of the divine. ... to sense the ultimate in the common and the simple: to feel in the rush of the passing the stillness of the eternal. what we cannot comprehend by analysis, we become aware of in awe.

She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. she was beautiful, for the way she thought. she was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. she was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. no, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. she was beautiful, deep down to her soul. she is beautiful.

Then suddenly the mole felt a great awe fall upon him, an awe that turned his muscles to water, bowed his head, and rooted his feet to the ground. it was no panic terror - indeed he felt wonderfully at peace and happy - but it was an awe that smote and held him and, without seeing, he knew it could only mean that some august presence was very, very near.

When everything that ticked has stopped, and space stares, all around, or grisly frosts, first autumn morns, repeal the beating ground.
Fall Autumn Space
She makes use of the soft of the bread for a napkin. she falls asleep at times with shoes on, on unmade beds. when a little money comes in, june buys delicacies, strawberries in the winter, caviar and bath salts.
