"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." - Jimi Hendrix

"Having a lover/friend who regards you as a living growing criatura, being, just as much as the tree from the ground, or a ficus in the house, or a rose garden out in the side yard... having a lover and friends who look at you as a true living breathing entity, one that is human but made of very fine and moist and magical things as well... a lover and friends who support the ciatura in you... these are the people you are looking for. They will be the friends of your soul for life. Mindful choosing of friends and lovers, not to mention teachers, is critical to remaining conscious, remaining intuitive, remaining in charge of the fiery light that sees and knows."

— Clarissa Pinkola Estés (Women Who Run with the Wolves)

Like roses in a garden, kindness fills the air
with a certain bit of sweetness as it touches everywhere.
For kindness is a circle that never, never ends
but just keeps ever-widening in the circle of our friends.
For the more you give, the more you get is proven every day,
And so to get the most from life, you must give yourself away...
