"It’s easy to lose sight of the divine in the partner who takes out the garbage, & easier still if he or she doesn’t. It’s hard to remember to look for & see the beloved in the parking attendant or the check-out clerk we encounter. We need shared gestures, small ceremonies that help us pay attention, that let us see & honour the mystery of the other every day. This is the commitment my soul longs to make to the world."~ Oriah from The Invitation May we see with our hearts today, seeing & honouring the sacred essence in each person we encounter - and in the one we see in the mirror. :-)

I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible; to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance, to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom, and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit. ~Dawna Markova, I Will Not Die an Unlived Life: Reclaiming Purpose and Passion |

From FB~Wild and Wise Women....
Oh yes, fireworks are pretty ... And rollercoasters are great fun Both can take your breath away. For me, they can not be my 'every day' ~ Although some teachings disagree. Whether romance, occupation, friendship, Purpose, Calling, or how and with who I spend my time; I choose to 'breathe' as my everyday ... The rocking hammock with the cool breeze And arms around me of one who seriously and calmly ... Loves me. And every so often ... with laughter and a kiss I shall welcome the breathlessness that the fireworks and Rollercoasters bring. And for me, not only is that enough ... It is everything. |
there is no present like the gift of today
yesterday is gone tomorrow awaits all we have is the moment we are in if you see someone without a smile, give them yours.. time is valuable, spend it wisely i like all these i do not know who wrote them all... |
Breaking up is like blowing glass. Better to let it fail honestly and leave it broken than to hurt yourself in the process of trying to save it or put it back together again.
