we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes.
- Pema Chodron

- Theodore Roosevelt

are never what a video camera would have recorded.

while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.

knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping, and then,
with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
- George Eliot

I am neither bitter nor cynical but I do wish
there was less immaturity in political thinking.

of life's cycles are an inherent part of their nature.

one is nourished, one dies - neither failed.

You are not your mind. You, a Spiritual BEing,
are neither your mind nor your body.
Mind and body are your tools - to use as you choose.
Sometimes your body appears to have a will of its own,
as when it twitches or pains.
Likewise, your mind often appears to have its own will.
That incessant chattering of regret, disappointment, guilt,
shame, foreboding, worry, and fear
is your Rattlesnake Mind striking off on its own.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

nor to unkindly probe their flaws.
