More From John Milton

This having learnt, thou hast attained the sum of wisdom; hope no higher, though all the stars thou knew'st by name, and all th'ethereal powers, all secrets of the deep, all nature's works, or works of god in heav'n, air, earth, or sea, and all the riches of this world enjoy'dst, and all the rule, one empire; onlyadd deeds to thy knowledge answerable, add faith, add virtue, patience, temperance, add love, by name to come called charity, the soul of all the rest: then wilt thou not be loath to leave this paradise, but shalt possess a paradise within thee, happier far.
Patience Stars Sea
O lord, thou knowest that which is best for us; let this or that be done, as thou shalt please. give what thou wilt, how much thou wilt, and when thou wilt. deal with me as thou thinkest best. place me where thou wilt, and deal with me in all things just as thou wilt. behold, i am thy servant, prepared for all things: i desire not to live unto myself, but unto thee; and oh, that i could do it worthily and perfectly!
Giving Justice Preparation
Is it thy will, thy image should keep open my heavy eyelids to the weary night? dost thou desire my slumbers should be broken, while shadows like to thee do mock my sight? is it thy spirit that thou send'st from thee so far from home into my deeds to pry, to find out shames and idle hours in me, the scope and tenor of thy jealousy? o, no! thy love, though much, is not so great: it is my love that keeps mine eye awake: mine own true love that doth my rest defeat, to play the watchman ever for thy sake: for thee watch i, whilst thou dost wake elsewhere, from me far off, with others all too near.
Love Eye Home
Lord! thou art with thy people still; they see thee in the night-watches, and their hearts burn within them as thou talkest with them by the way. and thou art near to those that have not known thee; open their eyes that they may see thee--see thee weeping over them, and saying, "ye will not come unto me that ye might have life"--see thee hanging on the cross and saying, "father, forgive them, for they know not what they do"--see thee as thou wilt come again in thy glory to judge them at the last. amen.
Art Prayer Father
If thy faith have no doubts, thou has just cause to doubt thy faith; and if thy doubts have no hope, thou hast just reason to fear despair; when therefore thy doubts shall exercise thy faith, keep thy hopes firm to qualify thy doubts; so shall thy faith be secured from doubts; so shall thy doubts be preserved from despair.
Faith Exercise Doubt
Ecclesiastes names thee almighty, the maccabees name thee creator, the epistle to the ephesians names thee liberty, baruch names thee immensity, the psalms name thee wisdom and truth, john names thee light, the book of kings names thee lord, exodus names thee providence, leviticus sanctity, esdras justice, creation names thee god, man names thee father; but solomon names thee compassion, which is the most beautiful of all thy names.

The way to a beautiful, strong, healthy body is to start by trusting yourself right now. let go of the struggle and surrender to your body's needs. your intuition will tell you what to eat. it may direct you to exercise vigorously, in which case you'll enjoy it, or it may tell you to slow down and rest. it may tell you to stay in bed all day, or it may tell you to get up early. there are no rigid rules. your body knows perfectly well what's good for it.

I just want to say one thing about the '70s. enough with this purer, "it was a better time," business. every time is about as polluted and needy and beautiful as most other times. i was around in the '70s, and people were just as ambitious and envious and filled with need and desire as they are today.

I deeply adored my mum. she was an extraordinary person, even for the prejudice i'm likely to have. she was beautiful, amusing, a tremendous elaborator of things into comic proportions and extravagant in her imagination.
