Persist

We are made to persist. That's how we find out who we are.
~Tobias Wolff
In Pharaoh's Army

Stress

Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nothing is that important.
~Natalie Goldberg

Times of change

"In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists."
~Eric Hoffer

Appreciate Nature

Some tension is necessary for the soul to grow, and we can put that tension to good use. We can look for every opportunity to give and receive love, to appreciate nature, to heal our wounds and the wounds of others, to forgive, and to serve.
~Joan Borysenko

The Dawn

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: You don't give up.
~Anne Lamott

Harmony

"The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace.
A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being that
places harmony in one's life."

~Peace Pilgrim

Wildflowers

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
~Oscar Wilde
