Unpolluted
“The spiritual life is made up of daily, hourly, minute-by-minute thoughts, feelings, desires; all this, like small drops, merging, forms a stream, a river, and a sea – these constitute integral lives. And just as a river or a lake is clear or murky because the drops in it are clear or murky, so is life – joyful or sad, pure or filthy – because such are our minute and daily thoughts and feelings. Such, too, will be the endless future – happy or painful, glorious or shameful – as our everyday thoughts and feelings, which have given this or that appearance, character, and quality to our soul. It is of the utmost importance to protect ourselves daily, every minute, from all pollution.”
Saint Nicholas of Japan
