"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." ~ Plato

Be like the willow tree...

“As trite as this may sound, it's simply true--
we are all on a journey--and traveling, as we know, is not always easy. 
Along the way, however, there are good things to be had, and it's seems that the little things end up mattering the most--it's just the plain and simple truth.
 We can be OK in each day as long as we bend like the willow tree.”
 ~ from a woman who is fighting cancer

"Every person contains within himself or herself a Spark of Divinity"

Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different ~ Oprah

"Who you really are can't be 'interrupted' by a thought, or some dark emotional state, anymore than a passing rain cloud disturbs the open sky through which it passes." ~ Guy Finley

The Journey

"Your journey has molded you for the greater good, and it was exactly what it needed to be. Don't think that you've lost time. It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the now. And now is right on time." ~ Asha Tyson

Silence

"The trees, the flowers, the plants grow in silence. The stars, the sun, the moon move in silence. Silence gives us a new perspective." ~ Mother Teresa
