Warmth

"...warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child."

-Carl Jung

Wishes

"It is not good for all our wishes to be fulfilled. Through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest."

-Proverb

Inspiration

"...what catches our attention might be more than a coincidence - it might also be a potential incident of inspiration."

- Wayne W. Dyer

Quiet

"Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened, but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm."

-Robert Louis Stevenson

 

Spare Time? No Such Thing

   

"Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Rest

"Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work, your judgement will be surer since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgement. Go some distance away, because then the work appears smaller, and more of it can be taken in at a glance, and a lack of harmony or portion is more readily seen."

-Leonardo da Vince

Time

"Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives, but I rather believe that time is a companion that goes with us on a  journey, reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again..."

- Captain Jean-Luc Picard, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" 

Synchronicity

"Synchronicity to me is one of the great gifts on the spiritual path. It's just those times when you're walking by a door and it opens for you.

Every now and then, I think we all get glimpses about what we have as a vision or a hope for the future - we are walking toward that, and things just fall into place.

When we can accept that as a great gift from God and an indication that we are on the right path, we are experiencing synchronicity."

- Becca Stevens, New Morning Treasury

The Things That Count

I saw this prayer on my morning update from Faithstreams a couple weeks ago. I liked it, and I thought you might like it too.

It is so easy

to get caught up

with the trappings of wealth

in this life.

Grant, O Lord,

that I may be free

from greed and selfishness.

Remind me that

the best things in life

are free:

Love, laughter, caring and sharing.

- from Sacred Space

 

Life

"...I am convinced, both by faith and experience, that to maintain one's self on this earth is not a hardship but a pastime, if we will live simply and wisely..."

- Henry David Thoreau
