Interesting Quotes
a friend passed this on to me recently and it's been helping me through some recent struggles…
--
And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life,
your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;
And you would accept the seasons of your heart
even as you have always
accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.
And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

If you Were Busy
If you were busy being kind
Before you knew it, you would find
you'd soon forget to think 'twas true
that someone was unkind to you.
If you were busy being glad
and cheering people who were sad,
Although your heart might ache a bit
You'd soon forget to notice it.
If you were busy being True
To what you know you Ought to do,
You'd be so busy you'd forget
The blunders of the folks you've met.

This was my mom's favorite saying, When she passed 25 years ago, her sister had the handwritten copy engraved and gave it to me. I read it daily as a reminder of how lucky I am to be alive.
one of my greatest mentors... Rumi
What was said to the rose
What was said to the rose that made it open
was said to me here in my chest.
What was told the Cypress that made it strong
and straight, what was
whispered the jasmine so it is what it is, whatever made
sugarcane sweet, whatever
was said to the inhabitants of the town of Chigil in
Turkestan that makes them
so handsome, whatever lets the pomegranate flower blush
like a human face, that is
being said to me now. I blush. Whatever put eloquence in
language, that's happening here.
The great warehouse doors open; I fill with gratitude,
chewing a piece of sugarcane,
in love with the one to whom every that belongs!
RUMI
How far you go in life
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.
