On Commitment
Until one is committed there is always hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, Raising to one’s favor all manner of unforeseen accidents and meetings And material assistance which no person could have dreamed Would come thier way. Whatever you can do or dream you can begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. By Goethe |
If it's still in your mind, it is still in your heart.
-Paulo Coelho |
"Do you have the patience to wait til your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving til the right action arises by itself?" Lao-Tzu in the Tao Te Ching

Amor mors mihi erit, sed vitalis mihi est.

Because He's Just The Profound
Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.
~ Winnie the Pooh |
If we fight against the waves
that pass over us in life, we are overpowered. If we move with the waves in life as they roll over us, the wave passes on. Pesikta Zurtarti |
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. Harriet Beecher Stowe |
In times of adversity, I remember I am strong enough to meet the challenges
of my life. I am equal to every situation, a match for every difficulty. Sourced in the power of the Universe, I allow that power to work through me. I meet calamity with strength. I have stamina. Rather than draw on limited resources, I draw on the infinite power within me that moves through me to accomplish its good. I am fueled by all the love, all the strength there is. Loving strength melts mountains. I am ever partnered and supplied by the universal flow. Knowing this, I do not doubt my strength. I am strong and secure. Julia Cameron |
Quote:
Another: “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” and... “A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference.” and... "People who don't Think probably don't have Brains; rather, they have grey fluff that's blown into their heads by mistake.” and... “Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon." But my favorite e.e. milne quote is one from Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh: “If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.” |
"What really knocks me out is a book; when you're all done reading
it, you wished the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it." ~Holden, "The Catcher in the Rye" |
"Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness." ~ Allen Ginsberg

We have learned, over and over again, that whatever we pay attention to becomes more important in our lives. When we pray, we are paying attention to our relationship with the Divine. With our attention on Spirit, we see the infinite possibilities, the presence of love and light, everywhere we go - because this wondrous spirit IS everywhere and everything! We feel that presence, and it comforts us, and enlightens us.
-Lissa Coffey "When people pray they seem to think God is some kind of ATM machine. Real prayer is simply love in action." - Sri Sri Sri Spankneesh |
"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." -Aesop

"The mind I love must have wild places, a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two, a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of, and paths threaded with flowers planted by the mind." ~Katherine Mansfield

"Out of the crooked timber of humanity no straight thing was ever made,"
~ Immanuel Kant |
“For women the best aphrodisiacs are words. The G-spot is in the ears. He who looks for it below there is wasting his time.” ~ Isabel Allende

It's always darkest before the dawn,
so if you're going to steal your neighbors newspaper, that's the time to do it. |
"Hope" is the thing with feathers-
"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul— And sings the tune without the words— And never stops—at all— And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard— And sore must be the storm— That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm— I've heard it in the chillest land— And on the strangest Sea— Yet, never, in Extremity, It asked a crumb—of Me. -Emily Dickinson |
"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." ~Elwyn Brooks White |
"Life's not always fair. Sometimes you can get a splinter even sliding down a rainbow." ~Terri Guillemets |
