“To live in this world, you must be able to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and,
when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.”
Mary Oliver
“You don’t need someone to complete you,
you only need someone to accept you completely.”
“Sometimes our light goes out but is blown again into flame by an encounter with another human being. Each of us owes the deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this inner light.”
~ Albert Schweitzer
“While I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw;
For I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being…. And I saw that it was holy.”
― Black Elk
“He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity’s sun rise.”
William Blake
A man went into the forest to talk to God:
Man: “God, tell me, what is a million years to you?”
God: “A million years is like a second to me.”
Man: “Ok then tell me God, what is a million dollars to you?”
God: A million dollars to me is like a penny.”
Man: “So God… can I have a million dollars?”
God: “In a second.”
“Give thanks to unknown blessings already on their way.”
~ Native American saying
