We are Spiritual by nature.
Say not,
I have found the truth,
but rather, I have found a truth.
Say not,
I have found the path
of the soul. Say rather, I have
met the soul walking upon my path.
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line,
neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself like a lotus
of countless petals.
~Kahlil Gibran
Teach me how to trust my heart,my mind, my intuition,
my inner knowing, the senses of my body,the blessings of my spirit.
Teach me to trust these things
so that I may enter my sacred
space and love beyond my fear,
and thus walk in balance with the
passing of each glorious sun.
Lakota Prayer
This is my favorite prayer.
** Adyashanti **
To have genuine
sincerity is absolutely necessary in the spiritual life.
Sincerity
encompasses the qualities of honesty, genuineness, and integrity.
To be sincere does not mean to be perfect. In fact, the very effort to be perfect
is itself insincere, because it is a way of avoiding seeing yourself as you are right now.
To be able and willing to see yourself as you are, with all of your
imperfections
and illusions, requires genuine sincerity and courage. If
we are constantly trying to
hide from ourselves, we will never be able
to awaken from our illusion of self.

** Richard Leonard **
An ancient cornerstone of prayer
is that our desire to thank God is
itself God's gift. Be grateful.
** Jane Goodall **
You cannot share your life with a dog,
as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat,
and not know perfectly well that animals
have personalities and minds and feelings.
** Kellie Elmore **
If we change our thoughts from
'it's too late' to, 'there's still hope',
we might see some change in the
world.
Be soft. Do not
let the world
make you hard.
Do not let pain
make you hate.
Do not let the
bitterness steal
your sweetness.
Take pride that even
though the rest of the
world may disagree,
you still believe it to
be a beautiful place.
~Kurt Vonnegut
** Nicholas Sparks **
And I learned what
is obvious to a child.
That life is simply a
collection of little lives,
each lived one day at a
time.
That each day should be
spent finding beauty in
flowers and poetry and
talking to animals.
That a day spent with
dreaming and sunsets
and refreshing breezes,
cannot be bettered.
Until one has loved an animal,
a part of one's soul remains
unawakened.
~Anatole France
All animals seek love,
desire love, and need love.
Just like you and me.
~A.D. Williams
** Richelle E. Goodrich,(Smile Anyway) **
One smile has
the power to;
Calm fears.
Soften stone walls.
Warm a cold heart.
Invite a new friend.
Mimic a loving hug.
Beautify the bearer.
Lighten heavy loads.
Promote good deeds.
Brighten a gloomy day.
Comfort a grieving spirit.
Offer hope to the forlorn.
Send a message of caring.
Lift the downtrodden soul.
Patch up invisible wounds.
Weaken the hold of misery.
Act as medicine for suffering.
Attract the companionship of angels.
Fulfill the human need for recognition.
Who knew changing the world would
prove so simple?
Live your life from your heart.
Share from your heart.
And your story will touch
and heal people's souls.
~Melodie Beattie
Have faith in your souls sacred plan.
Spread your wings and reach for the sky!
~Dr. Wayne Dyer
If
your
mind is
happy then
you are happy
anywhere you go.
When wisdom awakens
within you, you will see truth
wherever you look. Truth is all
there is. It's like, when you learned
how to read, you can then read wherever you go...
-Ajahn Chah-
We are
We do not become healers.
We came as healers.
We are!
Some of us are still
catching up to what we are.
We do not become storytellers.
We came as carriers of the stories
we and our ancestors actually lived.
We are.
Some of us are still
catching up to what we are.
We do not become artists.
We came as artists.
We are.
Some of us are still
catching up to what we are.
We do not become writers,
dancers, musicians, helpers,
peacemakers.
We came as such.
We are!
Some of us are still
catching up to what we are.
We do not learn to Love
in this sense.
We came as Love.
We are Love!
Some of us are still
catching up to who
we truly are.
-Clarissa Pinkola Estes-
** Marianne Williamson **
You may believe that you are responsible
for what you do, but not for what you think.
The truth is that you are responsible for
what you think, because it is only at this
level that you can exercise choice. What
you do comes from what you think.
-From The book:(A Return to Love:
Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles" )
We are all visitors to this time, this place.
We are just passing through.
Our purpose here is to observe, to learn,
Aboriginal Proverb
We are connected
I meet you in the void beyond time.
I shall remain here with you forever.
I have no life left to live, my Beloved.
Yet it feels so good to feel You living in me.
Do you feel that goodness Yourself,
since there is in truth no me?
I cannot touch this in words.
For I have no mind left to grasp.
I explode in the heart. I am Your I.
~Rafael Stoneman
We are here to awaken
from the illusion of our separateness.
~Thich Nhat Hanh
Your heart and my heart
are very,very old friends.

Singing Tears
The dam has been bursting all along,
singing tears of the mountain's song.
The puppet breaks free from its strings,
the caterpillar soars with new wings.
Dreamers shall awaken beyond time,
in love with a human heart so divine.
The actor surrenders the final mask,
in Your light all life comes to bask.
A fruit suddenly drops from its tree,
such sweetness like honey is to be.
Rafael Stoneman
Silence of the heart is necessary so you can hear God
everywhere in the closing of the door, in the person
who needs you, in the birds that sing, in the flowers,
in the animals.
Mother Teresa
Life is an opportunity,
benefit from it.
Life is beauty,
admire it.
Life is a dream,
realize it.
Life is a challenge,
meet it.
Life is a duty,
complete it.
Life is a promise,
fulfill it.
Life is sorrow,
overcome it.
Life is a song,
sing it.
Life is a struggle,
accept it.
Life is a tragedy,
confront it.
Life is an adventure,
dare it.
Life is luck,
make it.
Life is too precious,
do not destroy it.
Life is life,
fight for it!
-Mother Teresa-
Peace
If we could read the secret
history of our enemies
we should find in each
man's life sorrow and suffering
enough to disarm all hostility.
~Longfellow
Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn.
The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and
prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our
hearts.
Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth.
To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in
ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.
Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.
Marianne Williamson
** Adyashanti ** | ** Zen Master Dogen ** Do not follow the ideas of others,

Whenever you find yourself | Only as high as I |
** The Dalai Lama ** | ** Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ** |
We are all connected. When you touch one thing, you are touching everything. Whatever we do has an effect on others. Therefore, we must learn to live mindfully to touch the peace inside each of us. Peace in the world starts with peace in oneself. If everyone lives mindfully, everyone will be more healthy, feel more fulfilled in their daily lives and there will be more peace. This collective mindfulness can bring positive change to our families, organizations, communities, nations and future generations.

** Charles R. Swindoll **
We cannot change our past.
We cannot change the fact that
people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play
on the one string we have, and that
is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10% what
happens to me and 90% of how I react
to it.
And so it is with you. We are in charge
of our Attitudes.
