[Simone Weil @SimoneWeil_FBR]

"Human beings are so made that the ones who do the crushing feel nothing; it is the person crushed who feels what is happening. Unless one has placed oneself on the side of the oppressed, to feel with them, one cannot understand."
-Simone Weil, Lectures on Philosophy

Simone Weil, quoted by James H. Cone in The Cross and the Lynching Tree

[Simone Weil @SimoneWeil_FBR]

“One can never wrestle enough with God if one does so out of a pure regard for truth. Christ likes for us to prefer truth to him because, before being Christ, he is truth. If one turns aside from him to go toward the truth, one will not go far before falling into his arms.”

[Jennifer Williams @jreganwilliams]

Two 16 hour days. Covid is getting bad again at the hospital. I am exhausted and can’t sleep. I am getting stage 2 pressure ulcers on the bridge of my nose from my N95 again. My hands are dry, angry and hurt. I am fried. Burned out. Exhausted. Wear. A. Fucking. Mask. #CovidRN

@MelissaFloBix Reminds me of this quote from Simone Weil: "...It is not for [us] to seek, or even to believe in God. [We] have only to refuse to believe in everything that is not God...[We] have only to persist in this refusal, and one day or another, God will come to [us]."

A test of what is real is that it is hard and rough. Joys are found in it, not pleasure. What is pleasant belongs to dreams ~Simone Weil #ALDUBxADNAgape

"Humility is attentive patience."

-Simone Weil

[Lou Kavar @LouKavar]

In struggling against anguish one never produces serenity; the struggle against anguish only produces new forms of anguish. Simone Weil

Hitler! Recently a pretty much apolitical Friend mentioned that he never understood the appeal of Hitler until he viewed Trump's base and the republicans. I thought that deep. "Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil, but as necessity." Simone Weil

Apropos of nothing, certainly not the #ImpeachmentTrial, Simone Weil offers here a warning against the "History will judge" argument...

We must not wish for the disappearance of our troubles but for the grace to transform them. Simone Weil

[Simone Weil @SimoneWeil_FBR]

" If it were conceivable that in obeying God one should bring about one's own damnation while in disobeying him one could be saved, I should still choose the way of obedience."

--Simone Weil in Waiting For God

[Joseph Fasano @Joseph_Fasano_]

"The afflicted have no need of anything else in this world except someone capable of paying attention to them. The capacity to pay attention to an afflicted person is something very rare, very difficult; it is nearly a miracle." - Simone Weil

[Into The Forest Dark @ElliottBlackwe3]

To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.
