As I gaze at my garden and regard the varying colors the Creator has made for us, red, yellow, blue, white, pink, purple, etc..., I also think of the many colors the Creator has made of us, black, beige, brown, red, yellow and white -- and all of us are beautiful.

Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind]. Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of [people]. I have wished to know why the stars shine. Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, But always pity brought me back to earth; Cries of pain reverberated in my heart Of children in famine, of victims tortured And of old people left helpless. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, And I too suffer. This has been my life; I found it worth living. adapted - Bertrand Russell |
Understanding the limitations of human beings as well as understanding your own is the beginning of true wisdom.

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us." ~ Helen Keller

Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence: The bliss of growth The glory of action The splendor of achievement, For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision, But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day! Such is the salutation to the dawn. from the Sanskrit |
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us
tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon--instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. Dale Carnegie |
Do not look back on happiness, or dream of it in the future.
You are only sure of today; do not let yourself be cheated out of it. Henry Ward Beecher |
Yesterday is ashes, tomorrow wood.
Only today does the fire burn brightly. Old Eskimo proverb |
If we fill our hours with regrets of yesterday and with the
worries of tomorrow, we have no today in which to be thankful. unattributed |

“It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character.” - Dale E. Turner
