More From George Herbert

Halfway down the stairs, is a stair, where i sit. there isn't any, other stair, quite like, it. i'm not at the bottom, i'm not at the top; so this is the stair, where, i always, stop. halfway up the stairs, isn't up, and isn't down. it isn't in the nursery, it isn't in the town. and all sorts of funny thoughts, run round my head: it isn't really anywhere! it's somewhere else instead!
Running Somewhere Else Nurse
Well, son, i'll tell you: life for me ain't been no crystal stair. it's had tacks in it, and splinters, and boards torn up, and places with no carpet on the floor -- bare. but all the time i'se been a-climbin' on, and reachin' landin's, and turnin' corners, and sometimes goin' in the dark where there ain't been no light. so boy, don't you turn back. don't you set down on the steps 'cause you finds it's kinder hard. don't you fall now -- for i'se still goin', honey, i'se still climbin', and life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
Fall Son Dark
Where i'm is one of those stair climbing machines the agent has installed. you climb and climb forever and never get off the ground. you're trapped in your hotel room. it's the mystical sweat love lodge experience of our time, the only sort of indian vision quest we can schedule into our daily planner.our stair master to heaven.
Love Sweat Climbing
Prophet may you be! if i be false, or swerve a hair from truth, when time is old and hath forgot itself, when waterdrops have worn the stones of troy, and blind oblivion swallowed cities up, and mighty states characterless are grated to dusty nothing, yet let memory, from false to false, among false maids in love, upbraid my falsehood!
Memories Hair Cities
All rising to great place is by a winding stair; and if there be factions, it is good to side a man's self whilst he is in the rising, and to balance himself when he is placed.
Men Self Balance
The best conversation is rare. society seems to have agreed to treat fictions as realities, and realities as fictions; and the simple lover of truth, especially if on very high grounds, as a religious or intellectual seeker, finds himself a stranger and alien.
Religious Simple Reality

It doesn't matter if you're religious or not. does anything make you feel more uncomfortable than some stranger going, i'd like to talk to you about jesus?
Religious Jesus Doe
...the kingdom of god is that invisible collection of committed christians that transcends cultures, ideologies... and creeds- all bound by the golden commitment to say nothing and do nothing that would attack the self-esteem, the self-respect, and the dignity of any other human being, whether or not they are committed members of the kingdom of god. the dignity of the person then is the irreducible cell of true christianity.
Christian Religious Self Esteem
The day will come when the mystical generation of jesus, by the supreme being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of minerva in the brain of jupiter.
Religious Jesus Atheist
Research on child abuse suggests that religious beliefs can foster, encourage, and justify the abuse of children. when contempt for sex underlies teachings, this creates a breeding ground for abuse.
