Strong trust in self and life even in the face of evidence to the contrary

Faith is strong trust in self and life even in the face of evidence to the contrary. Like belief, it consists more in love than knowledge, or perhaps it is just that love takes precedence. It is intuitive. It is a power of the soul, not of the mind alone and based on the most subtle of perception. It is born and nurtured in the area of the third eye, the open heart, and the sensitivity of an ear tuned to mystery.

~ from THE SOUL'S RELIGION by Thomas Moore

Be kind, and wild, and disciplined, and absolutely generous

Call out to the whole divine night for what you love. What you stand for. Earn your name. Be kind, and wild, and disciplined, and absolutely generous.

~ Martin Shaw

You cannot be freed without these virtues

Every enlightened person on the earth,
everyone who's been liberated has had these virtues.
You cannot be freed without them.
The first one is compassion.
The second one is humility.
And the third one is service.

~ from SILENCE OF THE HEART by Robert Adams

God is in me as the sun is in the color and fragrance of a flower

I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the color and fragrance of a flower — the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence.

~ Helen Keller

May your life be like a wildflower

May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day.

~ Native American proverb

Love is the root of Life

Love is the root of Life that unites all.

~ from LUMEN CHRISTI...HOLY WISDOM by Nan Merrill

What lies within us

What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.
