Wonderful

.

For unto us a child is born, 

unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called 

Wonderful, 

Counseller, The mighty God,

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

 Wonderful!

The Star of Bethlehem by Edward Burne-Jones

“There shall be wings! 

If the accomplishment be not for me, 'tis for some other.”

“Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, 

still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.”

“The reason birds can fly 

and we can't is simply that they have perfect faith, 

for to have faith is to have wings”

“The day is done, and the darkness, 

Falls from the wings of Night, 

As a feather is wafted downward, 

From an eagle in his flight”

da Vinci

 

“There is nothing holier in this life of ours 

than the first consciousness of love, 

the first fluttering of its silken wings.”
