~Buddha |
“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.”
― Plato “It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses. ” ― Colette “Many people suffer from the fear of finding oneself alone, and so they don't find themselves at all.” ― Rollo May |
I want to see you.
Know your voice. Recognize you when you first come round the corner. Sense your scent when I come into a room you've just left. Know the lift of your heel, the glide of your foot. Become familiar with the way you purse your lips then let them part, just the slightest bit, when I lean into your space and kiss you. I want to know the joy of how you whisper "more". ~Rumi |
"How can we know ourselves? Never by reflection, but only through action. Begin at once to do your duty and immediately you will know what is inside you."
~ Goethe ~ |
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. - Marcel Proust |
“Your children are not your children.
They are 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 make upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may 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 also loves the bow that is stable.” ― Kahlil Gibran |
What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?- Dr. Robert Schuller
If you doubt your power you give power to your doubt.- Unknown It seems to me that people have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary things if they have the confidence or take the risks.

"Smile, breathe and go slowly."
"Be yourself. Life is precious as it is. All the elements for your happiness are already here. There is no need to run, strive, search or struggle. Just Be."

Say beautiful things, inspire, forgive, act physically to protect and help." "You have to do it by yourself. You can not do it alone." ~Thich Nhat Hanh :praying: |
"Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.”
― Kahil Gibran “Love doesn't demand perfection, but it does ask you to give yourself with less reserve than you'd prefer.” ― Thomas Moore “I care about who you are, who you have been, who you want to be. I open myself to you to listen and learn about you. I cherish you, not just my fantasy of who you are, not just who I need you to be, but who you really are...” ― Betty Berzon |

“Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be. If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.” ― Joseph Campbell |
I do not intend to tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death.-Unknown

Love yourself for your willingness to learn and grow." |
"Don't fight the trail. Take what it gives you ... Think easy, light, smooth and fast. You start with easy because if that's all you get, that's not so bad. Then work on light. Make it effortless, like you don't give a sh*t how high the hill is or how far you've got to go. When you've practiced that so long that you forget your'e practicing, you work on making it smooooooth. You won't have to worry about the last one -- you get those three, and you'll be fast." --Micah True (aka Caballo Blanco)

“I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.”
~ Jon Katz |

"Stay at your table and listen. You need not even listen, just wait. You need not even wait, just learn to be quiet, still, and solitary. The world will offer itself freely to you, unmasking itself. It has no choice in the matter. It will roll in ecstasy at your feet." ~Franz Kafka |
Continue searching harder, deeper, faster, stronger, and louder and knowing that one day, you'll be called upon to use all that you've amassed in the process.- Jodie Foster

Don’t judge a book by its cover, until you’ve read the inside!
(My Maori Grandmother’s version). We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes. We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. Success often lies just the other side of failure. Leo F. Buscaglia Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong. Leo F. Buscaglia There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? Over that I have complete control. Leo F. Buscaglia The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position. Leo F. Buscaglia |
“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.” Martin Luther King, Jr. |
