Holding on.

"Always remember,

when the pain of holding on is greater than

then it's time to let go!"



Like This......

"If someone asks you of a nymph,

show your face and say, like this,...

If someone asks you of the moon,

If someone asks you of musk,

open your hair and say, like this,..."

Music.

"When you're happy, you enjoy the music,

but when you're sad, you understood the lyrics."

Peace.

"Peace doesn't mean to be in a place

where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work,

it means to be in the midst of those things,

and still be calm in your heart."

Voyage.

"The only real voyage of discovery

consists not in seeking new landscapes,

but in having new eyes."

Recognizing Gifts.

"Someone I loved once gave me

a box full of darkness,

It took me years to understand

that this too was a gift."

as our precious teachers,

and also that we practice gratitute

to everyone.)

(Mary Olivier)

Stress cause.

"Stress is caused by being here,

but wanting to be there.

It is a split that tears you apart inside."

(Eckhart Tolle)
