Into The Forest,27 April 2015

We can give in to our fear and anxiety, or we can surrender to this great mystery with courage. When we see people on a roller coaster, we see that there are those with their faces tight with fear and then there are those that smile broadly, with their hands in the air, carried through the ride on a wave of freedom and joy. This powerful image reminds us that often the only control we have is choosing how we are going to respond to the ride.

Come quickly -- as soon as these blossoms open, they fall. This world exists as a sheen of dew on flowers.

Izumi Shikibu

mid-Heian period Japanese poet

May I see my own limits with compassion, just as I view the limits of others.

"We are who we are because somebody loved us, somebody had faith in us, somebody invested in you."

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the Sunset.

Crowfoot, a leader of the Blackfoot nation

Things break.... It’s what we do with the pieces that matters. This is what is beautiful. The mosaic is the masterpiece.
