"New Jerusalem," William Blake
And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England’s mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England’s pleasant pastures seen? And did the Countenance Divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among these dark Satanic Mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my charriot...

Breathe.
charlessanders:
This is one of my favorite post from Zen Habbits.
Breathing can transform your life.
If you feel stressed out and overwhelmed, breathe. It will calm you and release the tensions.

Mark 14:8―What she could do was plenty.
Mark 14:8
I’ll paint the scene for you. For three years, Jesus and the Twelve have done everything together.

We can pick up a hint of what this is like in college, having spent the most part of these years living, sleeping, eating, learning, playing, crying, discovering with our...
