The one word solution to all the problems the world is facing is "COMPASSION" ~Amma

Spirit Dancer · 12-12-2010, 01:56 PM

Today's world needs change, alteration, renewal, and corrections of errors. It needs new ideas, new approaches, methods, plans, procedures, and new ways of doing things. Maybe you should think of going -- literally or symbolically -- to a circus today, where you'll see stunts you never dreamed possible. The novelty and originality there may stimulate what you need more of in this life. Have the daring to take a flight for the idea you believe in!

Wilferd A. Peterson

We communicate happiness to others not often by great acts
of devotion and self-sacrifice, but by the absence of fault-finding
and censure, by being ready to sympathize with their notions
and feelings, instead of forcing them to sympathize with ours.
Adam Clarke

Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose
a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can.
But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

Mary Hemingway

" Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned"
Buddha

JakeTulane · 12-13-2010, 09:05 AM

"Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives." - Frederick F. Flack

JakeTulane · 12-13-2010, 09:06 AM

"There are no prescriptive solutions, no grand designs for grand problems. Life's solutions lie in the minute particulars involving more and more individual people daring to create their own life and art, daring to listen to the voice within their deepest, original nature, and deeper still, the voice within the earth." - Stephen Nachmanovitch

JakeTulane · 12-13-2010, 09:08 AM

"This is how change happens, though. It is a relay race, and we're very conscious of that, that our job really is to do our part of the race, and then we pass it on, and then someone picks it up, and it keeps going. And that is how it is. And we can do this, as a planet, with the consciousness that we may not get it, you know, today, but there's always a tomorrow."- Alice Walker

Spirit Dancer · 12-13-2010, 09:11 AM

We collect data, things, people, ideas, "profound experiences," never penetrating any of them. But there are other times. There are times when we stop. We sit still. We lose ourselves in a pile of leaves or its memory. We listen and breezes from a whole other world begin to whisper.

James Carroll

Spirit Dancer · 12-13-2010, 09:14 AM

Only when one is connected to one's inner core is one connected to others.
And, for me, the core, the inner spring, can best be re-found through solitude.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
