Musings...

As the leaves begin to turn,

and the nights become cooler

we give thanks for the summer

and welcome the fall...

Musings...

Let the flower you hold in your hand

be your world for that moment.

- David Baird

A Thousand Paths to Tranquility

Musings...

Love is like the sun coming out of the clouds

and warming your soul.

Musings...

...when you fulfill your own abilities,

when you express your personal idealism

through acting it out to the best of your ability
in your daily life,

then you are changing the world

for the better.

Jane Roberts

Musings...

Life will break you.
Nobody can protect you from that,

and living alone won't either,

for solitude will also break you with its yearning.

You have to love.

You have to feel.

It is the reason you are here on earth.

You are here to risk your heart,

you are here to be swallowed up.

And when it happens that you are broken,
or betrayed,  or left, or hurt,
or death brushes near,

let yourself sit by an apple tree

and listen to the apples
falling all around you in heaps,

wasting their sweetness.

Tell yourself that you tasted
as many as you could.

Louise Erdrich

Musings...

People are like stained-glass windows.

They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,

but when the darkness sets in,

their true beauty is revealed
only if there is a light from within.

-Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Musings...

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy,

if a blade of grass springing up in the fields

has power to move you,

if the simple things have a message
that you understand,

rejoice,

for your soul is alive.

- Eleonora Duse
