Soft...
"It’s the hard things that break; soft things don’t break. It was an epiphany I had today and I just wonder why it took me so very, very long to see it! You can waste so many years of your life trying to become something hard in order not to break; but it’s the soft things that can’t break! The hard things are the ones that shatter into a million pieces!” - C. JoyBell C |
“I am an expression of the divine, just like a peach is, just like a fish is. I have a right to be this way...I can't apologize for that, nor can I change it, nor do I want to... We will never have to be other than who we are in order to be successful...We realize that we are as ourselves unlimited and our experiences valid. It is for the rest of the world to recognize this, if they choose.”
― Alice Walker, The Color Purple |

Blessings...
“May the four winds gather and disperse the strength to grant me with all the same blessings once bestowed upon the goddess of Olympus.” - Truth Devour, Unrequited |
Peace of Mind...
"Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy. If you have everything the world can give - pleasure, possessions, power - but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy." - Dada Vaswani |

I will not die an unlived life...
I will not die an unlived life I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit. - Dawna Markova |

We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons. - Alfred Newman

“Even chance meetings are the result of karma… Things in life are fated by our previous lives. That even in the smallest events there’s no such thing as coincidence.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore |
In the heavens I see your eyes, In your eyes I see the heavens. Why look for another Moon or another Sun?— What I see will always be enough for me. ~ Rumi |
Sorry for Self...
"I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself." - D.H. Lawrence |
I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues. —Duke Elllington

I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring.
~David Bowie |

Today...
"The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today." - H. Jackson Brown, Jr. |
|
"...Books and opinions, no matter from whom they came, if they are in opposition to human rights, are nothing but dead letters."
—Ernestine Rose, responding to religious heckler at Seventh National Woman's Rights Convention, New York, Nov. 25-26, 1856 (History of Woman Suffrage, Vol. 1: 661-663) |
