Love. Memories.

Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death. – Anonymous

The only thing we should want power over is ourself

Power intoxicates men. When a man is intoxicated by alcohol, he can recover, but when intoxicated by power, he seldom recovers. – James F. Byrnes

Dick Cheney - Wal-Mart Greeter

It's not your fault

The path of integration does not flee anxiety but endures it, in order to recuperate those parts of the psyche which split off and returned to haunt us in projected symbolic form. – David Loy

We may through with the past, but the past is not through with us

The past is never ended; it isn’t even past. – William Faulkner

Magnolia - Donnie Smith "I'm sick and I'm in love."

And there is the account of the hanging of three men, and a scuba diver, and a suicide. There are stories of coincidence and chance, of intersections and strange things told, and which is which and who only knows? And we generally say, "Well, if that was in a movie, I wouldn't believe it." Someone's so-and-so met someone else's so-and-so and so on. And it is in the humble opinion of this narrator that strange things happen all the time. And so it goes, and so it goes. And the book says, "We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us."

Let the healing begin!!

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love. – Washington Irving

Listen

The greatest gift you can give another is the purity of your attention. – Richard Moss

The past is not done with us

When unresolved issues are writing our life story, we are not our own autobiographers; we are merely recorders of how the past continues, often without our awareness, to intrude upon our present experience and shape our future directions. – Daniel Siegel, MD

Remember Yourself Honestly

When true self-remembering comes, one does not want to alter oneself, or others; one somehow rises above their weaknesses and one's own. There can be no blame anywhere. One swallows what is, and becomes free. - Rodney Collin

I have no teacher. An open heart is my teacher.
I have no voice. The bird's song is my voice.
I have no path. Fearlessness is my path.
I have no achievements. Equanimity is my achievement.
I have no profession. Presence is my profession.
I have no children. All beings are my children.
I have no ambition. Kindness is my ambition.
I have no script. Authenticity is my script.
I have no partner. Life is my partner.
I have no benefactor. Gratitude is my benefactor.
I have no strength. Flowing and unfolding is my strength.
I have no goal. Freedom, and the blessings of freedom
for all beings
is my goal.

This is how it starts, not with a bang

Melancholy and sadness are the start of doubt... doubt is the beginning of despair; despair is the cruel beginning of the differing degrees of wickedness. - Isidore Ducasse Lautreamont

Despair/Happiness - The Mouse Trap



This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper

Enough nonsense

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

 

Fly, Be Free

Him [Her] that I love, I wish to be free -- even from me. – Anne Morrow Lindbergh

What is running inside of you?

You can outdistance that which is running after you, but not what is running inside you.

- Rwandan Proverb

James - Pressure's On

Life, Love lie outside the confines of the turmoil in your head

Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?
-- Leo Buscaglia

 

Forgiveness: It's what for life

To be able to move on, one has to learn to forgive not only the person (or people) who have done one wrong but also oneself  - Eugenia Tripputi

She's An Angel - TMBG

Got understanding? Got milk?

Understanding is the first step to acceptance and only with acceptance can there be recovery. - Joanne Kathleen (J.K.) Rowling

But what if we have no string? Then sing, or bang your hands like drums

We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. - Charles R. Swindoll

 

Look Ma! No hands!

Y'know, we're all in this together

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. – Audrey Hepburn

New Day

With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. – Eleanor Roosevelt

 

 Everything's waiting for you

If you crack some eggs, make an omelot

Forgiveness is freeing up and putting to better use the energy once consumed by holding grudges, harboring resentments, and nursing unhealed wounds. It is rediscovering the strengths we always had and relocating our limitless capacity to understand and accept other people and ourselves. – Sidney and Suzanne Simon

Breaking Down the Walls of Sadness

The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy. – Jim Rohn
