Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Holy Apostle Paul (I Thessalonians 5: 21)
The passage of time is frightening when one is standing in one place; one should plunge down into the depths, where time is irrelevant.
Sickness is the best time to turn back into your heart, to God. When you get better, the opportunity once again recedes into the infinite distance. Sickness is a school of humility, in which you see that you are lowly, and naked, and blind.
Priest Alexander Yelchaninov
