"Caretake this moment.

"stars, hide your fires;
let not light see my black and deep desires." -'Macbeth', Act1 Scene4- William Shakespeare |
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
`Marianne Williamson |
Love asks me no questions, and gives me endless support. Shakespeare

- Elanor Roosevelt |
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take a step into the darkness of the unknown, we must believe one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for us to stand on, or we will be taught to fly - Frank Outlaw

I have this thing about einstein always have......I find much of what he has said to be timeless such as:
Communities tend to be guided less than individuals by conscience and a sense of responsibility. How much misery does this fact cause mankind! It is the source of wars and every kind of oppression, which fill the earth with pain, sighs and bitterness. (Albert Einstein, 1934) |
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already.

There comes a time when one must say: This is me! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be. Don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.

Quote:
Without the human community one single human being cannot survive. - The Dalai Lama |
You can not always control circumstances, but you can control your own thoughts.
~Charles Popplestown |
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you, For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends with you His might that His arrows might go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable. - Kahlil Gibran |
