the whole of creation, and truth

Know that however ugly the parts appear the whole remains beautiful...
... the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty of the universe. Love that, not man apart from that, or else you will share man's pitiful confusions, or drown in despair when his days darken.

~ Robinson Jeffers

Evil spreads with the wind; truth is capable of spreading even against it.

~ Paramahansa Yogananda
