The falling rain dissolves into mist
and the thunder begins to die,
as the sporadic lightning fades
an arch of color pours from the sky.

I said, “God, I hurt.”
And God said, “I know.”

Angels are all around us,
Flying on wings so light;
They come to give us comfort
In the still hours of the night.

“Don’t follow your dreams; chase them.” – Richard Dumb
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” – Alan Kay
“Because we cling to the past we become unavailable to the present.” – Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on the end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots was perfectly made and never leaked.

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

We all have days,
where getting out of bed is just too hard to do
And facing the world,
including all of life’s complications…

Do not… undermine your worth by comparing
yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Because of you I can see just how bright the sun can be,
Because of you I can turn into a butterfly,
I can fly into the sky, make a wish,
That you are close when I whisper your name.
