Half way through my book I found another great quote...
From Ch. 7 - Gathering the Borderlands: The Sky Islands of the Southwest
An excerpted poem - titled: "Old Earth," by Drum Hadley (2005). In, Voice of the Borderlands, pp. 16. Rio Nuevo, 2005. Old Earth We are gathering these Borderlands together, Mesas, arroyos, and valleys as far as our eyes can see, Blue mountain range upon mountain range forever, Turning towards dawnlight, then into the evening West, As far as pale North sky circling South, to where vaqueros Come crossing horseback by the broken mesas in Mexico. (Bernard, 2010 - p. 138) |
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. ~William Shakespeare :praying:

“In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do.”

" All they got is freedom and pride; keeping their word and taking care of each other. "
" All they got are rules " " They're not written down you damn fool, they're lived." " They don't work for anybody. They work for their life." ~~~~Movie quotes- Monte Walsh |
"We're all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life." - Tennessee Williams |

“What is the quality of your intent?
Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at the core. Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each of us must come to realize is that our intent always comes through. We cannot sugarcoat the feelings in our heart of hearts. The emotion is the energy that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want to create. We should be honest and do it the way we feel it. What we owe to ourselves and everyone around is to examine the reasons of our true intent. My intent will be evident in the results.” |
“He who wants a rose must respect the thorn.”

Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
~Hans Christian Anderson |
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.” - Charles R. Swindoll |
Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you're alive, it isn't.
~Richard Bach |
“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing." - Author Unknown |
"And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything." ~William Shakespeare |
Be wise to insure that every idle word spoken is carried with peace, driven with love, and filled with hope. For this we know is certain, one day our words will become our last. (f)

"Mirth is like a flash of lightning, that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity."
-Joseph Addison (1672-1719) British Essayist Truly spiritual people are light-hearted and filled with joy! They love a good laugh and are the first to share a smile. These are the kinds of people who brighten our day just by showing up. How much we can learn from this! We're all connected, so it makes sense that if one person is "up" it helps all of us to rise up. Let's be the person who shines through the clouds today. -Lissa Coffey From one of my favorite daily emails...Coffeytalk. |

Way too much coffee. But if it weren't for the coffee, I'd have no identifiable personality whatsoever. ~David Letterman |
From Alice Walker....
I tell you, Chickadee I am afraid of people who cannot cry Tears left unshed turn to poison in the ducts Ask the next soldier you see enjoying a massacre if this is not so. People who do not cry are victims of soul mutilation paid for in Marlboros and trucks. Resist. Violence does not work except for the man who pays your salary Who knows if you could still weep you would not take the job. |
"It takes two to speak truth, one to speak and another to hear." - Henry David Thoreau

“Our greatest strength as a human race is our ability to acknowledge our differences, our greatest weakness is our failure to embrace them.” - Judith Henderson |
“I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap.” - Ani Difranco |
"Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. We are all children of chance and none can say why some fields will blossom while others lay brown beneath the August sun. Care for those around you. Look past your differences. Their dreams are no less than yours, their choices no more easily made. And give, give in any way you can, of whatever you posses. To give is to love. To withhold is to wither. Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace.” - Kent Nerburn |
To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the making of bread.
~James Arthur Baldwin |
The profoundest of all sensualities is the sense of truth and the next deepest sensual experience is the sense of justice.
~D. H. Lawrence |
“Some people drift along like a cork on a river, feeling that they cannot do anything except drift, moment to moment. This is an attitude of mind. Everyone can be constructive even in tiny ways.” Edward de Bono
|
“Strong men can always afford to be gentle. Only the weak are intent on "giving as good as they get." Elbert Hubbard”
|
If you really do put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price.

"Words are the ambassadors of our intentions. How we say what we say makes a statement about who we are."
~ adapted from Susan Harrow |
Take care the words that escape your lips. All the apologies in the world won't change the impact. (f)
~Duchess |
"In spite of illness, in spite even of the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways."
Edith Wharton |
Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog. ~ Sidney Jeanne Seward
|
Draw a circle - not a heart - around the ones you love, because hearts can break, but circles go on forever. Ending relationships are like band-aids; if you don't pull it off fast it will hurt. |
You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.
- Henry Drummond |
“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.” Thomas S. Szasz

"Insist on yourself. Never imitate."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson |
Wolves who let themselves get distracted by rabbits have only themselves to blame if they miss their chance at a deer. Mark Stanley

nothing is in vain or without profit to the humble soul: like the bee, it takes its honey from the bitter herbs; it stands always in a state of divine growth, and everything that falls upon it is a dew of Heaven to it. william law |
when humility enters our souls, we are at last able
to perceive that we do not live alone in the world but with millions of brothers and sisters, and that hidden in the heart of each is the same animating spirit. u.s. anderson |
When we perform an act mindfully--be it meditating, vacuuming or playing Scrabble
with a child--we nourish ourselves, as well. Rather than scattering our concentration on a dozen things at once, we focus. We slow down. We give ourselves time to calm down from the inside out and the luxury of saying: Nothing is more important right now than this moment, this deed. We may not get as much done by day's end, but we can feel more peaceful and satisfied with the work itself. That's a good way to think of it: Mindfulness is quality time for the soul. Shana Aborn |
