Remembering my Dad...
"All that we can know about those we have loved and lost is that they would wish us to remember them with a more intensified realization of their reality. What is essential does not die but clarifies. The highest tribute to the dead is not grief, but gratitude."
Thornton Wilder

"My life has a superb cast but I can't figure out the plot."
Ashleigh Brilliant
(Do you feel like that sometime? I do (unfortunately much of the time ;-) )
_________
A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...
I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration,
I can humiliate or horror, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated and a person is humanized or de-humanized.
If we treat people as they are, we make them worse.
If we treat people as they could be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.
J.W. Goethe
______________________________
May every moment in my life and the lives of others be one of wisdom, flourishing and inner peace!

"No effort is ever wasted, although some pay dividends later than you think... Do not imagine that you 'wasted your time' because something didn't turn out right. There is no such thing as 'waste' in the Universe. Everything -- everything -- yields benefit... It's true. And your life will show you this. So don't decry the 'effort that failed.' All things lead to your highest good. You just may not know it yet".

No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

"You are more likely to be successful, overall, if you participate joyfully with projects and goals and do not think your life depends on achieving the mark because then you will be better able to connect to people all around you. On the whole, resources are likely to come to you in greater abundance when you are generous and inclusive and engage people in your passion for life. There aren’t any guarantees of course. When you are oriented to abundance, you care less about being in control, and you take more risks. You may give away short term profits in pursuit of a bigger dream; you may take a long view without being able to predict the outcome. In a measurement world, you set a goal and strive for it. In the universe of possibility, you set a context and let life unfold.”
Benjamin Zander & Rosamond Stone Zander (The Art of Possibilities)

"Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives."

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic (July 6, 2009)...
"The best year of our lives is not made up of days or weeks or months. It is made up of moments. Moments when we allow our separateness to melt away so we can be truly intimate with another; moments when we take a risk and express our love in an unexpected way; moments when we choose forgiveness over resentment; moments when we appreciate the perfection of where we are and who we are with. These are the moments that bring meaning to our lives and joy to our hearts."

"What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it."
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
__________
A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...
I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
To allow my living to open me,
To make me less afraid,
More accessible.
To loosen my heart until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
To live so that which came to me as seed
goes on to the next as blossom
And that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.
Dawna Markova

Community.
Somewhere, there are people
to whom we can speak with passion
without having the words catch in our throats.
Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us,
eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us
whenever we come into our own power.
Community means strength that joins our strength
to do the work that needs to be done.
Arms to hold us when we falter.
A circle of healing. A circle of friends.
Someplace where we can be free.
STARHAWK, Dreaming the Dark
in Calling the Circle
__________Wishing you a most beautiful day, wherever this may find you!
