A good friend of mine is Noah benShea. He is a philosopher, poet, a man of words. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from him:
1. “A blush of breeze rose from the grass. Jacob felt as if an angel's wing had beat against his cheek. He touched his cheek slowly. He felt embarrassed by the thought.
"That I should think an angel came to me."
He wept. And, again, the brush of breeze against his cheek.”
― Noah Benshea, Jacob the Baker: Gentle Wisdom For a Complicated World
2. “The details make life holy. If you want a little happiness in life don’t forget to look at the little things. It is a poet’s work to see the incidental, pluck it, place an appropriate silence around both sides and see the profound in what passes for a passing moment. It is an artist’s job to as much discover art as create it. Prayer is a way of making the common profound by pausing, tying knots around a moment, turning our life into a string of pearls.”
― Noah Ben Shea
