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

Diva · 06-15-2010, 06:19 AM

"Words are the ambassadors of our intentions. How we say what we say makes a statement about who we are."

~ adapted from Susan Harrow

Duchess · 06-15-2010, 07:44 AM

"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

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.

Ms. Tabitha · 06-15-2010, 01:57 PM

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.

Wolves who let themselves get distracted by rabbits have only themselves to blame if they miss their chance at a deer. Mark Stanley

Spirit Dancer · 06-16-2010, 06:32 AM

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

Spirit Dancer · 06-16-2010, 06:33 AM

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

Spirit Dancer · 06-16-2010, 06:36 AM

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

Spirit Dancer · 06-16-2010, 06:38 AM

Mindfulness of oneself cultivates wisdom.
Mindfulness of others cultivates compassion.

"I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable."-- Joseph Addison

JakeTulane · 06-16-2010, 07:05 AM

"Forgive, forget. Bear with the faults of others as you would have them bear with yours. Be patient and understanding. Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious."-- Phillips Brooks
