let

your gentleness

be evident

to all

Philippians 4:5

don’t settle for nice, for pleasant,

for familiar

surround yourself with

truth

— unknown

life shrinks or expands

in proportion

to one’s

courage

E. E. Cummings

most people are perfectly

afraid of

silence

Anaïs Nin

it’s not the load that

breaks you

it’s the way you

carry

it

Lena Horne

transcend from the world

to the soul

the bliss of eternity

can be found

in your

contentment

life goes not backwards

nor tarries with

yesterday

Khalil Gibran

are we so caught up

in survival

that we barely live?

as we think in

our heart

so we are

Eknath Easwaran

shift

(a little)

inhale deeply

exhale longer

it is your thoughts

that bring you fear

it is you you fear

when the fear of God is gone

there are no obstacles

.between you and

peace

A Course In Miracles 196

(gleaned)

grieve not what you have not become

celebrate

&

accept

who you are

there is no need to complete, find, reach

but to recognize

sometimes references are useful,

but only if they tell the truth

Alexander McCall Smith
