This is the first I've seen this thread and haven't had time to read through it yet. I posted this in another part of the board yesterday, but I'll post it here as well. I don't know if it's already in this thread, but I'm going to post it anyway.
Hope
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the song without the words
And never stops -- at all
And sweetest in the Gale is heard
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm-
I've heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest sea
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb of Me.
Emily Dickinson -
"Sometimes the unreachable dreams are the more fulfilling ones. They guide our journey..."
--Rabbi Bruce Aft -
"Your friend is your needs answered.
She is your field which you sow and love and reap with thanksgiving.
For without words, in friendship, all throughts, all desires,
all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
For what is your friend that you should seek her with hours to kill?
Seek her always with hours to live.
For it is your friend to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
--Kahil Gibran -
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
~Mark Twain ~
Kindness, like a boomerang, always returns.

"Each friend represents
a world in us,
a world not born
until they arrive,
and it is only by this meeting

Be an angel to someone else whenever you can, as a way of thanking God for the help your angel has given you. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994
Outside the open window
The morning air is all awash with angels.
~Richard Purdy Wilbur

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
-Eleanor Roosevelt -
"Live all you can; it's a mistake not to. It doesn't much matter what you do in particular, so much as you live while you are doing it."
--Henry James -
"Most of us miss out on life's big prizes. The Pulitzer, The Nobel, Oscars, Tonys, Emmys. But we're all eligible for life's small pleasures. A pat on the back. A kiss behind the ear. A four-pound bass. A full moon. An empty parking space. A crackling fire. A great meal. A glorious sunset. Hot soup. Cold beer."

Happiness is a form of courage. ~Holbrook Jackson
Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower. ~Author Unknown

There are three enemies of personal
peace, regret over yesterday's mistakes,
anxiety over tomorrow's problems
and ingratitude for today's blessing.

One ship sails East,
And another West,
By the self-same winds that blow,
Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales,
That tells the way we go.
Like the winds of the sea
Are the waves of time,
As we journey along through life,
Tis the set of the soul,
That determines the goal,
And not the calm or the strife.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

may the sun
bring you new energy by day,
may the moon
softly restore you by night,
may the rain
wash away your worries,
may the breeze
blow new strength into your being,
may you walk
gently through the world and know
its beauty all the days of your life.
--apache blessing -
These are beautiful. Thanks for sharing ladies.

You see,
when weaving a blanket,
an Indian woman leaves a flaw
in the weaving of that blanket
to let the soul out. ~Martha Graham
As the wind blows you must set your sail.

Lovely, Patti.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been.

No love, no friendship can cross the path
of our life without leaving some mark
on it forever.

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

And don't ever forget...for even a day...how very Special you are!
~Colin McCarthy
"Indian wisdom says our lives are rivers.
We are born somewhere small and quiet and
we move toward a place we cannot see, but only imagine.
Along our journey, people and events flow into us, and
we are created of everywhere and everyone we have passed.
Each event, each person, changes us in some way.
Even in times of drought we are still moving and growing,
but it is during seasons of rain that we expand the most
when water flows from all directions, sweeping at terrifying speed,
chasing against rocks, spilling over boundaries.
These are painful times, but they enable us to carry burdens we could never have thought possible.
Floods are painful, but they are necessary.
They keep us clear and strong.
They move our lives onto new paths."
--Lisa Wingate
The great thing in this world is not so much where we are,
but in what direction we are moving.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes
peace
love

Thought is the blossom;
language the bud;
action the fruit behind it.
