Quote of the Day

There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
There is a hunger in the center of the chest
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
and though the body sleeps, the heart will never rest
Shed a little light oh Lord so that we can see
Just a little light oh Lord...

~ from James Taylor's song " Shed a Little Light"

Dr. Bernie S. Siegel

There is a silence into which the world cannot intrude

Dr. Bernie S. Siegel | November 2015 (Vol. XXVIII, No. 10)

There is a silence into which the world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost.

~ from A COURSE IN MIRACLES, as quoted in 365 PRESCRIPTIONS FOR THE SOUL by Dr. Bernie S. Siegel

Love is the answer

Dr. Bernie S. Siegel | February 2013 (Vol. XXVI, No. 2)

The greatest truth I know about life is that love is the answer. If you ask me what the question is, I will tell you it is every question you could ever ask. Love is always the answer to every question and problem. We are here to love and be loved and learn a few things in the process. I can never be wrong when I choose to love. Love rewards me by bringing meaning to my life.

~ from 365 PRESCRIPTIONS FOR THE SOUL by Dr. Bernie S. Siegel
