  6. Thomas Moore _ A Religion of One's Own: A

  7. Thomas Moore _ Care of the Soul: Guide for

    Soul-making is a journey that takes time, effort, skill, knowledge, intuition, and courage.

  9. Thomas Moore _ Dark Nights of the Soul: A

    That is the point of the night sea journey-to be born into yourself. There, you are in the amniotic fluid, in an alchemical substance once again. You are journeying toward your own life.

  12. Thomas Moore

    Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,Which I gaze on so fondly to-day,Were to change by to-morrow, and fleet in my arms,Live fairy-gifts fading away,Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art,Let thy loveliness fade as it will,And around the dear ruin each wish of my heartWould entwine itself verdantly still.It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear,That the fervor and faith of a soul may be known,To which time will but make thee more dear!No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,But as truly loves on to the close
