The Clear Shining Of Light Within

On This Day In History
1656: First Quaker coloniallists land at Boston

Quote Of The Day
"No clear impressions, either from above or from without, can be received by a mind turbid with excitement and agitated by a crowd of distractions. The stillness needed for the clear shining of light within is incompatible with hurry."
(Caroline Stephenson)

"And when I squinted
The world seemed rose-tinted
And angels appeared to descend.
To my surprise,
With half-closed eyes,
Things looked even better 
Than when they were open."
