“There is an indefinable mysterious power that pervades everything, I feel it though I do not see it..whilst everything around me is ever changing, ever dying there is underlying all that change a living power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves and recreates.. .in the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.”

About this quote
Beneath the noise of loss and change, some people sense a steadiness that nothing erodes — a ground that outlasts every ending. Trusting that continuity doesn't deny grief or decay; it gives a person somewhere to stand while everything visible keeps shifting.
When to use it
- A hospice nurse keeps returning to dying patients, sure that something in them endures beyond the failing body.
- After his business collapses, a founder rebuilds because he believes the values behind it survived the wreckage.
- A widow grieving her husband finds footing in the sense that the love they built, not the loss, is the lasting thing.
