Foolish people ask you, when you speak what they do not wish to hear, "How do you know it is the truth, and not an error of your own?" We know the truth when we see it, from opinion, as we know when we are awake that we are awake.
*Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882, Transcendentalist
The only way to seek God is to seek God first. Deny the nayward, affirm the yeaward, be true to those stirrings and motions which He starts in us, refuse priority to all else, and be faithful to the sacred.
Jean Toomer, 1894-1967, Quaker

We tend to rely too much on the words and thoughts of others, and often we may not hear our own inner wisdom due to the well-meaning advice or opinions given by others. Our first, most immediate authority is within. Sitting quietly, openly, and heartfully prepares a space of consent for Grace to work for our good and for us to cooperate with the unseen and underlying currents of Grace in a way we may not be conscious of.

We are each a lovely, pure Rose, in the Garden of Grace.
