tells them the seasons? How do we, humans, know

certainly when to go forth into the unknown.--Elisabeth Kubler-Ross -

"Hear you laughing and my soul is saved."---chris cornell submitted by jess
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer. There is no disease that enough love will not heal. No door that enough love will not open. No gulf that enough love will not bridge. No wall that enough love will not throw down. And no sin that enough love will not redeem. It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble. How hopeless the outlook. How muddled the tangle. How great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. And if you could love enough, you would be the happiest and most powerful person in the world.---Emmet Fox submitted by Lisa R

Why abandon a belief merely
because it ceases to be true?
Cling to it long enough, and
not a doubt it will turn true
again, for so it goes. Most of

and out of favor. As I sit
here, and oftentimes, I wish
I could devote and dedicate
forever to the truths we keep
coming back and back to. Robert Frost

Within my sensitivity lies
my strength. unknown---submitted by Miranda
Our deepest fear is NOT that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be?? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you! We were born to manifest the glory of God within us. Its not just in some of us, its in everyone--and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others!

The Opening of the Trunk
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch of a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.Poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson Contributed by Lisa
