“The wisdom, the strength, the confidence, the awakened heart & mind are always accessible — here, now, always.

We are simply uncovering them. We are rediscovering them. We are not inventing them or importing them from somewhere else.

They are here. That’s why when we feel caught in the darkness, suddenly the clouds can part …

The main question is, are we living in a way that adds aggression & self-centeredness to the mix,

or are we adding some much-needed sanity?” ~ Pema Chodron

“What does Love look like? It has the hands to help others.

It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want.

It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what Love looks like.” ~ Saint Augustine

… and it has the Courage to be assaulted by fear & steeped in doubt, and yet keep Loving anyway.

“Your friend is your deepest needs answered. She is the field which you sow with Love and reap with thanksgiving.

And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter … for in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.” ~ Kahlil Gibran
