QUOTES & POEMS
Do not take thought for your persons or your
properties, but first and chiefly to care about the greatest
improvement of the soul. I tell you that the virtue is not given
by money, but that from virtue come money and every other good
of man, public as well as private... The difficulty, my friends,
is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for
that runs faster than death.
--Socrates
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to
all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given
him.
--St. James
James 1:5 Let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His
blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work
must truly be our own.
--John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Doth not nature itself teach you?
Corinthians 11:14
The universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything
that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. The
mountain teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and
change. Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and
flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes--every form
of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impression upon the
soul of man.
--Orison Swett Marden If you're going through hell, keep
going.
--Sir Winston Churchill
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you
could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them
as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it
serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your
old nonsense.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of
your state of mind.
--Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
Man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?
--Robert Browning
To the world you might be one person, but to one person you
might be the world.
--Unknown
You are not a human body with a soul, you are a soul with a
human body.
--Unknown
A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.
--Erin Majors
Hope is the companion of power and the mother of success, For
those of us who hope strongest have within us the
gift of miracles.
--Sydney Bremer
The human heart feels things the eyes cannot see, and knows
what the mind cannot understand.
--Robert Vallett
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of
their dreams.
--Eleanor Roosevelt
In the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of
you.
--Deepak Chopra

Click the box to set your intention!
Intention allows you to focus on bringing something into your
life even if you do not know how it will be possible. When you
set an intention, you begin to move toward your desire. You do
this by activating your psyche — and all the energy of the
universe itself — to support you in your quest.
Amid the Myst
The color of gray was the same color that I had been seeing
whenever I meditated about the future....
I didn't know what this meant. Though it was constant.
Did this mean that I had no future... that there was no future?
Within each of those internal questions were the fears about
that being true.
Peace was always there in my meditations -- and peacefulness was
where I would always return... when I moved through all the
fears evident from my internal questions -- Yet the future was
still gray.
Then... It hit me Mist! "Myst" Mystery....
Grey - Like fog... vapors.... unformed.... unknown...
unknowable...
Of Course!
How Perfect!
When past is clear - well formed, seen, and known from
understanding all my old choices then... My future is yet to be
formed.
If I'm to live, If I'm living in
The Present,
Now,
Fully
Being myself
Then in each of my moments - with each and every breath
any look into the future would only be 'Myst'...
the unformed vapors of my breaths
containing my hopes
my dreams
my thoughts
only made real
by my choices
intermingling ...
with others' choices.
To be seeing gray when looking ahead.... on a planet of choice
was a good thing, for it meant living fully in the present.
The future mine to make --- form --- gather ...
rather than a transcribed dictation... made without awareness...
from the echoes of blinded past choices...
made in total darkness.
So...
my own thoughts, hope, and dreams
gray - mist - vapors - unformed until I start their form with my
present choices...
sent to intermingle with others thoughts, hopes, dreams....
also gray - myst - mysteries - all going into the unformed,
unknown, unknowable...
there to are formed ... within the myst.
The question then ~ is simple ...
Do I fear the gray
the mist
the myst
the mystery
the unformed unknown unknowable
or embrace?
And my answer...
already known
and mine each moment to experience ...
Peace ...
peacefulness
