Perhaps there is supranatural: reason beyond the normal definitions of fact or data-based logic something that only makes sense if you can see a bigger picture of reality. Maybe that is where faith fits in.

Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly.
William P. Young
If a rainbow makes a sound, or a flower as it grows, that was the sound of her laughter.
William P. Young
All I want from you is to trust me with what little you can, and grow in loving people around you with the same love I share with you. It's not your job to change them, or to convince them. You are free to love without an agenda.
William P. Young
There is always risk in relationships, but bottom line? The world has no meaning apart from relationships. Some are just messier than others, some are seasonal, others are difficult, and a few are easy, but every one of them is important.
William P. Young
Emotions are the colors of the soul.
William P. Young
I make a distinction between true and real. I think that the story is true, it’s just not real. That’s what a parable is. It takes things that we all know are real, and it takes life events that actually happens, and it weaves them into a fiction that allows truth to actually be embedded.
William P. Young
The world in many ways would be a much calmer and gentler place if women ruled. There would have been fewer children sacrificed to the gods of greed and power.
William P. Young
You are a beautiful mess, you are the melody.
William P. Young
Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat.
William P. Young
I think that most creative fiction involves the transformational process, whether it is Dickens or Dostoyevsky and the writer in some sense is expressing their own journey through such a wilderness.
William P. Young
when I live in you, then together we can live through everything that happens to you.
William P. Young
Mack was getting frustrated. He spoke louder, 'But, don't I have a right to...' To complete a sentence without being interrupted? Not in reality. But as long as you think you do, you will surely get ticked off when someone cuts you off, even if it is God.
William P. Young
I suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships so will our healing, and I know that grace rarely makes sense for those looking in from the outside.
William P. Young
Sometimes honesty can be incredibly messy
William P. Young
Why would the God of the universe want to be submitted to me?' Because we want you to join us in our circle of relationship. I don't want slaves to my will I want brothers and sisters who will share life with me.
William P. Young
So no, I’m not too big on religion...and not very fond of politics or economics either...And why should I be? They are the man-created trinity of terrors that ravages the earth and deceives those I care about. What mental turmoil and anxiety does any human face that is not related to one of those three?
William P. Young
Even though you can't finally grasp me, guess what? I still want to be known.
William P. Young
You don't play a game or color a picture with a child to show your superiority. Rather, you choose to limit yourself so as to facilitate and honor that relationship.
William P. Young
Much as I venerate the name of Newton, I am not obliged to believe that he was infallible. I see ... with regret that he was liable to err, and that his authority has, perhaps, sometimes even retarded the progress of science.
William P. Young
You may have to declare your forgiveness a hundred times the first day and the second day, but the third day will be less and each day after, until one day you will realize that you have forgiven completely. And then one day you will pray for his wholeness and give him over to me so that my love will burn from his life every vestige of corruption.
William P. Young
