"Breathe. You’re going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass."~Daniell Koepke

I'm not religious but I have always found Julian of Norwich helpful:

 

"All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well."

 

I only discovered recenly that Julian was a woman.

Helen Keller never ceases to amaze me. That she would find beauty and peace in her blindness and deafness is a real inspiration... and to be content. Incredible...

Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.

Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist.

Be curious.

And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.

It matters that you don't just give up.

~~Stephen Hawking

 

 

 

In honor of a bright light in the universe who left the earth today, and left it just a bit darker. 1941-2018 RIP

Stephen Hawking was born January 8, 1942, on the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death. He died today, March 14th, on the anniversary of Einstein's birth. Time is circular - no beginning, no end.
