A little teaching of the Irish.
 

Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life. ~ Hermann Hesse, Wandering

What I know in my bones is that I forgot to take time to remember what I know. The world is holy. We are holy.
All life is holy. Daily prayers are delivered on the lips of breaking waves, the whisperings of grasses, the shimmering of leaves. ~ Terry Tempest Williams

There is religion in everything around us, a calm and holy religion in the unbreathing things in Nature. It is a meek and blessed influence, stealing in as it were unaware upon the heart. It comes quickly, and without excitement; it has no terror, no gloom. It does not rouse up the passions. It is untrammeled by creeds. It is written on the arched sky. It looks out from every star. It is on the sailing cloud and in the invisible wind. It is among the hills and valleys of the earth where the shrubless mountain-top pierces the thin atmosphere of eternal winter, or where the mighty forest fluctuates before the strong wind, with its dark waves of green foliage. It is spread out like a legible language upon the broad face of an unsleeping ocean. It is the poetry of Nature; it is that which uplifts the spirit within us and which opens to our imagination of world of spiritual beauty and holiness. ~ John Ruskin

This is what I want said as my vows at my wedding ... if i ever get married :) I need to find the right person first i guess :)

I never thought that I could meet someone like you.
You are my friend.
You are my smile.
You are my everything.
You are a breath-taking reflection
of God's heart for me....
of how he pursued me...
and loved me even when I didn't love myself.
You held my hand in the darkness
and you pulled me out into the light.
I love you...

You are my light.
And it doesn't matter what happens
in this life as long as you're with me.
When I look at you, I know that there's a God
and that he loved me so much
that he took the time to create you...just for me.
I love you....past my mind....beyond my heart....
I love you from my soul.
And that's the space where only you and God dwell.

"Cualquier destino,por largo y complicado que sea,consta en realidad de un solo momento:el momento en que el hombre sabe para siempre quién es." Borges
(Every life destiny as complex as it could be, is made up of one single moment,the moment in which a person finds out, once and for all, who they are.)

Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride
Hot as a pistol but cool inside
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile! :)

Pay no attention to those who talk behind your back;
you're ahead of them for a reason.

“Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius.” - Fulton J. Sheen

“Jealousy lives upon doubts. It becomes madness or ceases entirely as soon as we pass from doubt to certainty.” - François de la Rochefoucauld

“To cure jealousy is to see it for what it is, a dissatisfaction with self” - Joan Didion

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. -- Gandhi

"That the birds of worry and anxiety fly over our heads,
this you cannot change,
but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent."(f)
