There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

everything invites me to cherish it.

bloom with hundreds of flowers.Thich Nhat Hanh




Of all the wonderful things
in the wonderful universe of God,
nothing seems to me more surprising
than the planting of a seed
in the blank earth
and the result thereof.Julie Moir Messervy

On the first day of spring,
I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth.
I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar." -Helen Hayes

Whether sixty or sixteen,
there is in every
human being's heart the lure of wonder,

the unfailing child-like appetite
of what's next,
and the joy of the game of living.

In the center of your heart
and my heart there is a wireless station;
so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young. ~ Samuel Ullman ~

A man ninety years old was asked to what he attributed his longevity. I reckon, he said, with a twinkle in his eye, it's because most nights I went to bed and slept when I should have sat up and worried. ~ Dorothea Kent ~

Science has never drummed up quite as effective a tranquilizing agent as a sunny spring day. ~W. Earl Hall~

]"People usually consider
walking on water or
in thin air a miracle.

But I think the real miracle
is not to walk either on water
or in thin air,
but to walk on earth.

Every day we are engaged
in a miracle which we don't recognize:
a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle."

-- Thich Nhat Hanh


May white light
and positive energy
follow your footsteps

From within or from behind, a light shines through us
upon things and makes us aware that we are nothing,
but the light is all.

Don't wallow in the darkness.

Add to the light. Be positive. Be happy.

Be genuinely joyful. You can do it

whenever you choose and when you do

you'll truly make the world a better place.
