One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture and, if possible, speak a few reasonable words.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe |
Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters. Awful proceeds from the same root word as awesome. Terrify and terrific. Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation.
- Alan Cohen |
The true friend is the one that's coming in the door while everyone else is going out.

"I AM, not Was, not yet but NOW,
YOU ARE, not when, not where, but here, WE ARE, not then, no there but at this moment, One with light, strength, abundance and joy. Together as our journey collides WE thrive. If you cannot reach-climb upon my shoulders brother, sister. If you cannot walk, Grab hold and I will assist When you doubt, share your woes and I will show you only grace There is no mountain that cannot be won when we tether our ropes together!" -ME (1/29/13-958am) |

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while your cares will drop away like the leaves of Autumn."

“Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.”
― Martin Luther King Jr. “ Here I stand; I'm as firm as a rock. If you'll only trust me, how little you'll be disappointed. Be mine as I am yours.” ― Henry James “A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life,...” ― Elizabeth Gilbert |
Sometimes all you can do for someone who is not being kind is to remind them of how kindness feels. ~SPS

"The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential to turn a life around. It’s overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt." — Leo Buscaglia |
No one ever asks how they may impact your life. No one ever asks how deeply they may love or hurt you. No one ever asks how they should take your breath away or breath life back into you. No one ever asks...they just do.

It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.--Voltaire

It was not the physical pain or the emotional pain that broke my heart. It was hearing you say you never loved me at all.

Quote:
That is when I was introduced to Leo- the man changed my life that day He told his story of how He used to be a professor at UCLA and had tenure every semester he'd asked his students to come by his office to get to know them a bit One day a young woman came in highly intoxicated and he told her he could not see her that way for there was no way he could know her if she were not herself- weeks went by and he saw her less and less until one day she just was not there no one even the class remembered her existence He then went to the Dean of Women and found the young girl had gone to The Pacific Palasades (cliffs) and jumped it was then he thought to himself- "we teach children how to read, write and arithmetic but not how to live" He then gave up his tenure to become a motivational speaker to help people learn to live. he is a great man- I admire and hope to be more like every day :) thank you for sharing this |
"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love." -Rainer Maria Rilke

Let your love be like the misty rain, coming softly...but flooding the river.

In Your time, Spirit ,may I grow in my understanding of self.
My spiritual journey involves a discovery of self. For years, I pretended to be what I was not, what I imagined myself to be, or what others wanted me to be. Today I am beginning to know myself. I understand my needs and my strengths. I accept my weaknesses and live with my confusion. From the time I put down the glass, things have progressively gotten better, but there is still a great deal I do not understand.The daily violence and suffering, and my own personal defenses, impatience, and judgment-where do they come from? I do not know, and that is okay. I still search. My suspicion is that the answer lies within my own insecurities, as they do crop up time to time, ever reminding me of my humanness. |
If you don't feel it, flee from it. Go where you are celebrated, not merely tolerated.
― Paul F. Davis |
"When I feel a little confused . . . the only thing to do is to turn back to the study of nature before launching once again Into the subjects closest to heart."
— Raoul Dufy |
“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.” ― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey |
"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid." ~Audre Lorde

And the sunlight clasps the earth

“Dream your dream; and realize that you are more than just the dreamer, you are the point of origin for its reality.” ― Steve Maraboli “I don't want to be the one who says life is beautiful. I want to be the one who feels it.” ― Marty Rubin |

“This is how it works. I love the people in my life, and I do for my friends whatever they need me to do for them, again and again, as many times as is necessary. For example, in your case you always forgot who you are and how much you're loved. So what I do for you as your friend is remind you who you are and tell you how much I love you. And this isn't any kind of burden for me, because I love who you are very much. Every time I remind you, I get to remember with you, which is my pleasure.” ― James Lecesne |
Each day brings a new opportunity to wake and make today your best yet.
