“A true friend knows your weaknesses
but shows you your strengths;
feels your fears but fortifies your faith;
sees your anxieties but frees your spirit;
recognizes your disabilities
but emphasizes your possibilities.”

There is radiance and glory in
the darkness could we but see –
and to see we have only to look.”

Look… Don’t Touch
“She was illusive. She was today.
She was tomorrow.
She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower,
the flitting shadow of an elf owl.
We did not know what to make of her.
In our minds we tried to pin her to a corkboard
like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through
and away she flew.”
Jerry Spinelli about ‘Stargirl’
Miracle Grow
“Every day we are engaged in a miracle
which we don’t even recognize…
a blue sky…white clouds…green leaves.”

“If you may count every drop of water in the ocean
and count every grain of sand in the sea –

Dance With Me
“Live your dreams and you nurture your spirit,
nurture your spirit and you dance your bliss,
dance your bliss and the world becomes a
celebration of authentic loving harmony.”

Washin Over Stone
“Don’t take anything personally.
Nothing others do is because of you.
What others say and do is a
projection of their own reality,
their own dream.
When you are immune to the opinions
and actions of others,
you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.”
Don Miguel Ruiz
