Words For The Day

Borrow the Beloved's eyes.
Look through them and you'll see the Beloved's face everywhere.
No tiredness, no jaded boredom . . . things you have hated will become helpers.

-- Jalaluddin Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks, We Are Three


Even in a world that's being shipwrecked,
remain brave and strong.

-- Hildegard von Bingen


You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life.
And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law:
the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.

-- Sarah Ban Breathnach, Simple Abundance


We are the ones for whom we have been waiting.

--Hopi Elders


To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion. . . .
In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common.
This is to be my symphony.

-- William Ellery Channing


Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.

-- Clarissa Pinkola Estes
