I offer gentle understanding to myself.
I position myself in love, not fear.
I look behind me with forgiveness.
I look forward with festive anticipation.
I embrace this holy moment and assert,

the legacy instead of the small.
Now. Now I will live large, love boldly,
reach to the edges of my unfurled heart and fully enrolled hope.

If you have an emotional reaction in the presence of someone,
your heart is telling you that you have
not resolved your issues with them.
In other words, you have not truly forgiven that person.
All of this begs the question, how do we forgive?
First, cease lying to yourself and stop telling yourself stories
about why you behave the way you do.
Stop blaming your behavior on other people
and take responsibility for your emotional reactions.
If you could forgive all the people in your life
who have hurt or wounded you
it would be possible to be in control of your behavior
instead of being in reaction to other people all of the time.
Imagine living life without experiencing
a constant emotional roller-coaster of pain, anger, and jealousy!
That would be bliss!
-Sheri Rosenthal

Too many people are thinking of security

For your friends till they are dead;
Do not write them on their tombstones,
Speak them rather now instead.

But what a cruel thing is war
to separate and destroy families and friends,
and mar the purest joys and happiness
God has granted us in this world,
to fill our hearts with hatred
instead of love for our neighbors,
and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world!
- Robert E. Lee

In dwelling, live close to the ground.
In thinking, keep to the simple.

It is never good dwelling on good-byes ...
it is not the being together that it prolongs, it is the parting.

May your life always be Counterpoint to the Clamor of the World.
May you delight in Dancing Lightly With Life.

May your sun always shine, and your sky be forever blue.

Hold on... Joyfully.

"this is just the nature of Life,
so I may as well enjoy it"

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
