The greatest message the world will ever hear is contained in one, simple scale. . .
Outer Banks
- . . .a tremulous bit of sand strewn to sea like some rim broken from the pottery, billowed by waves, swept by wind, and shifting with tide. . .here we take our Spring. . .my Outer Banks. . . furthermost edge of a continent, threatening to slip mirage-like into the blue. . .for a season I am allowed to live and dream and think where margins are wild, open and free . .i don't know how many posts will crystalize during our sojourn here. . .Will you consider shelling through the archives, perhaps choosing this month a year or two or three ago. . .you may find some bit of stranded shell to put in your pocket, perhaps singing its song for you. . .i pray. . .

Gentle Ways
- "He is the One who put the romance in our hearts and the One Who first opened our eyes to see that our deepest desire is fulfilled in Him." ~John Eldridge, The Sacred Romance
"you know nothing about me, and nothing about the sort of love of which I am capable. . .""You're coming home with me."
Miss Bennett: "Books— oh! no. I am sure we never read the same, or not with the same feelings."
Mr. Darcy: "I am sorry you think so; but if that be the case, there can at least be no want of subject. We may compare our different opinions."
"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. . ."
"Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. . . For you alone, I think and plan. "
"My beloved is mine and I am his." ~ Song of Solomon
Guard Your Heart, Gentle One
- Wisdom for Gentle Hearts
There are three things that are too amazing for me,
four that I do not understand,
the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a young woman.
~ Proverbs 30:19
