One SONG can spark a moment

One FLOWER can wake the dream

One TREE can start a forest

One BIRD can herald spring

One SMILE begins a friendship

One HANDCLASP lifts a soul

One STAR can guide a ship at sea

One WORD can frame the goal

One VOTE can change a nation

One SUNBEAM lights a room

One CANDLE wipes out darkness

One LAUGH will conquer gloom

One STEP must start each journey

One WORD must start a prayer

One HOPE will raise our spirits

One TOUCH can show you care

One VOICE can speak with wisdom

One HEART can know what is true

One LIFE can make a difference.

“…feelings like disappointment, embarrassment,

irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear,

instead of being bad news, are actually very clear

moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back.

 

They teach us to perk up and lean in when

we feel we’d rather collapse and back away.

They’re like messengers that show us, with

terrifying clarity, exactly where we’re stuck.

This very moment is the perfect teacher, and,

lucky for us, it’s with us wherever we are.”

Rest in natural great peace this exhausted mind,

Beaten helpless by karma and neurotic thoughts

Like the relentless fury of the pounding waves

In the infinite ocean of samsara.

Rest in natural great peace.

SELF ESTEEM

 

You are what you think.

You are what you go for.

You are what you do.

 

~ Bob Richards ~

[[al...]]

 

“When you open yourself to the continually changing, impermanent, dynamic nature of your own being and of reality,

you increase your capacity to love and care about other people and your capacity to not be afraid.

You're able to keep your eyes open, your heart open, and your mind open.

And you notice when you get caught up in prejudice, bias, and aggression.

You develop an enthusiasm for no longer watering those negative seeds, from now until the day you die.

And, you begin to think of your life as offering endless opportunities to start to do things differently.”

 

~ Pema Chödrön ~

And so our goal in any situation becomes inner peace."

 

~ Marianne Williamson ~

"Guard well your spare moments.

They are like uncut diamonds.

Discard them and their value will never be known.

Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life."
