I reworked this screenshot/snapshot a bit and pit a frame around it to fit with a quote that has rapidly made its way to the top of my favorite quote list. This image of the lighthouse shinning its beacon of light and hope in a chaotic and stormy world I feel fits this quote very well.

 

“The potential for loss of soul -

to one degree or another -

is the affliction of a society that as a collective

has lost its sense of the holy,

of a culture that values everything else

above the spiritual.

We live in such a spiritually impoverished culture -

and in such a time.

Loss of soul, to one degree or another,

is a constant teasing possibility.

We are invited at every corner to hedge on the truth,

indulge outselves, act as if our words and actions

have no ultimate consequence,

make an absolute of the material world,

and treat the spiritual world

as if it were some kind of frothy, angelic fantasy.

In such a world the soul struggles for survival;

in such a world a man can lose his own soul

and have the whole culture support him,

and in such a world, conversely,

the light of a single, great soul that lives in integrity

can truly illumine the world.”

- Daphne Rose Kingma
