Courage takes many forms. There is physical courage, there is moral courage. Then there is a still higher type of courage--the courage to brave pain, to live with it, to never let others know of it and to still find joy in life;
to wake up in the morning with an enthusiasm for the day ahead. Howard Cosell

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you
as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. John Homer Miller

"The human spirit is not dead. It lives on in secret. It has come to believe that all compassion, in which ethics must take root, can only attain it's full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind." - Albert Schweitzer

I believe that all of the things you do for other people, you're actually doing for yourself. Life is like a bank account. Randon acts of kindness, telling the truth, being loving, showing up for yourself and others--these are all deposits. Getting fucked up, fucking other people over, letting your ego lead your choices--these are withdrawals. If we give more than we take, we progress. If we take more than we give, we regress.

"I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird." — Paul McCartney (wow! Paul turned 70 yesterday...I'm getting old! lol) Man himself cannot express love and humility by external signs, so plainly as does a dog, when with drooping ears, hanging lips, flexuous body, and wagging tail, he meets his beloved master. Charles Darwin

— CRADLE MY HEART —
Last night, I was lying on the rooftop, thinking of you. I saw a special Star, and summoned her to take you a message. I prostrated myself to the Star and asked her to take my prostration to that Sun of Tabriz. So that with his light, he can turn my dark stones into gold. I opened my chest and showed her my scars, I told her to bring me news of my bloodthirsty Lover. As I waited, I paced back and forth, until the child of my heart became quiet. The child slept, as if I were rocking his cradle. Oh Beloved, give milk to the infant of the heart, and don't hold us from our turning. You have cared for hundreds, don't let it stop with me now. At the end, the town of unity is the place for the heart. Why do you keep this bewildered heart in the town of dissolution? I have gone speechless, but to rid myself of this dry mood, oh Saaqhi, pass the narcissus of the wine. From: Hush Don't Say Anything to God: Passionate Poems of Rumi (Translated by Shahram Shiva) |

There is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to look. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt. ~Author Unknown
Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination. ~Robert Fulghum

It need not discourage us if we are full of doubts. Healthy questions
keep faith dynamic. In fact, unless we start with doubts we cannot have a deep-rooted faith. One who believes lightly and unthinkingly has not much of a belief. One who has a faith which is not to be shaken has won it through blood and tears--has worked his or her way from doubt to truth as one who reaches a clearing through a thicket of brambles and thorns. Helen Keller

Every decision that you make either moves you toward your personality, or
toward your soul. Each decision you make is an answer to the question, "How do you choose to learn love?", "How do you choose to learn authentic empowerment--through doubt and fear, or through wisdom?" Gary Zukav

My gut tells me it is time to repeat this one......
"I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a door mat or a prostitute." ~Rebecca West, "Mr Chesterton in Hysterics: A Study in Prejudice," The Clarion, 14 Nov 1913
